OVERVIEW

The role of digital technologies, automation and data analytics is becoming increasingly important for finance professionals. These technologies present the opportunity to assist and develop roles and functions in the accountancy and finance industry. In other words, technology has revolutionized work methods as a result of which, the paper which was used as a substrate for writing the work upon it has now been replaced by an electronic substrate. The changes created by technology include the use of Blockchain, IoT (Internet of Things), Cloud Accounting and Big Data to do accounting in automated form. The rapid development of Technology and its extensive uses has prompted every organization to use new software which in turn has increase productivity.

Blockchain technology is slowly redefining the way financial records are kept by allowing secure shared access and updating of records by multiple users departing from the earlier approach of centralized custody for all financial records. The rise of cloud accounting technology has allowed the Accountancy profession to partner with the clients in ways that initially looked impossible. The emergence and development of technology are some of the critical arguments that support a paradigm shift in audit missions. The audit of the future is likely to have much less human-to-human interaction related to highly repetitive and rules-based tasks. Interface tools could be used to automatically share information in real time with the external auditor’s Artificial Intelligence (AI) tool(s), which in turn could analyze, test and flag anomalies or issues that require the auditor’s attention. However, technology also comes with a risk of cybersecurity which is not under the direct control of IT. To meet the market expectations, Audit professionals and Accountants will be forced to be digitally compliant in all operations but institute the cybersecurity mitigation measures.

The East African digital CPA conclave seeks to showcase how emerging technologies will improve the Accountancy Profession by covering the following topical areas.

  1. Changes in the accountancy profession due to emerging digital technologies
  2. The effect of automation and cloud-based technology affected competition and preparation of financial statements
  3. Implementation of effective remote working policies and procedures to enhance efficiency and productivity
  4. Implementation of robotics and Artificial Intelligence in various Accountancy Roles
  5. Use of Cloud Computing and Power BI systems to aid in decision making
  6. Emerging Cyber security threats and controls
  7. Overview of data protection policies and controls
  8. Critical milestones sin the journey of implementing an ERP system
  9. Utilizing automation and analytics in the audit practice
