  • To recognize impacted functions: transactional, period-end closing, auditing, and regulatory filings.

Course Overview

There is an accelerating and disruptive digital technology transformation in progress. It is referred to as the “digital revolution”. It can potentially adversely impact an organization’s competitiveness and will replace employee jobs with computers. The accounting profession needs to prepare itself for substantial change and a threat to jobs in accounting. Vulnerable jobs are transactional ones (e.g., payroll, payables, receivables, auditing, filings).

Digital transformation is not exclusively about physical robots, but also about software robots that perform functions that white collar employees perform. Digital transformation presents great potential but also raises concerns. It can provide invaluable business enhancements, but also be a threat to one’s job security.

  • The Digital Revolution — Opportunities and Threats
  • 5 Effects of Digitization on Accountants
