The Future Of Accounting:
How Will Digital Transformation Impact Accountants?
In business, as in life, change is the only true constant. From
mitigating unprecedented business disruptors to adapting to new
operational paradigms, professionals in all industries find
themselves dealing with major changes — many of them driven
by emerging technologies.
Accounting is no exception. The profession has moved far
beyond mere bookkeeping and payroll, and like its partner
procurement, it’s taking an increasingly strategic role for forward-thinking businesses. While some pundits say accounting has a
dim future in the digital world of tomorrow, technologies such as
cloud-based data management, process automation and
advanced analytics are actually poised to further elevate
accountants in new and empowering ways.
As far back as 2015, industry leaders were sounding the death
knell for accountants, convinced emerging technologies —
particularly automation — would end in death by digital for
accountancy as we know it. And as recently as 2019, accountants
surveyed by Robert Half on the impact of automation on their
profession expressed concerns about being replaced, having
fewer opportunities for creative problem-solving and an
overdependence on tech in completing daily tasks.
Yet, the events between then and now, including the Covid-19 pandemic, have instead shown that accountants, like other
professionals, need to worry much more about adaptation than
replacement.
There's no question that digital transformation has radically
changed the playing field. Big data has become a rich resource
that needs to be tapped to compete effectively. But for
businesses ready to leverage the potential of digital tools, this
shift is an opportunity, not a threat.
[…]
Both the skill set and the job description for tomorrow's
accountant will be greatly expanded, while still hewing to the
core competencies of the profession. Supported by technology in
a collaborative setting, accounting teams will be populated with
both dedicated accounting professionals and subject matter
experts from other areas of the business.
Tomorrow's accountants may play an advisory role,
welcoming business intelligence and procurement professionals
and working to chart a strategic sourcing plan. They could
leverage data management tools, including augmented reality, to
humanize and contextualize spend data for the C-suite to make
better decisions based on long-term value rather than return on
investment alone.
With more diverse skill sets and greater technical acumen,
accountants can bring their own expertise to teams in other
business units, providing crucial financial intelligence, refining
budgets or ensuring compliance. […]
As a function, accounting may become less about refining
one's skill set through certifications and more about core
competencies that grow over time, with a focus on lifelong
education and skill development required to take on a complex,
ever-changing business environment.
Automation and other data-driven technologies are poised to
free accountants, not constrain them. Organizations that understand the potential and importance of these technologies
— and invest in the tools and training required to help their
accountants take full advantage — will be ahead of the curve.
Tomorrow's accountants will play a more creative and strategic
role in their companies. As a result, their businesses will not only
enjoy more efficient workflows and reap more useful insights
from their accounting processes, but help strengthen their own
resiliency, agility and competitive footing.

Interesting facts about Mona Lisa that will surprise you
[...]
● A heist helped cement its “masterpiece” status
Even though the Mona Lisa has always been popular in the art sphere, it hasn’t always been world-famous, but
everything changed in the summer of 1911 when the painting was stolen.
Thanks to massive reporting by the media, the Mona Lisa became a worldwide news sensation overnight.
Even those who barely had any interest in art followed the story of the masterpiece’s disappearance.
Gossips about the heist also surfaced, further cementing the Mona Lisa’s status as a household name. Even Pablo
Picasso was once accused of stealing the painting!
And when Mona Lisa was returned, everyone instantly flocked to the Louvre to see the famed da Vinci masterpiece.
● The public mourned when she was stolen
The heist made Mona Lisa so popular that the public mourned when she was gone.
After the painting was stolen, thousands immediately came to the Louvre Museum to stare at the blank wall where it
once hung. People also left countless notes, flowers, and other mementos to honor the missing painting.
Later, the New York Times would compare this public display of grief to the one seen after Princess Diana’s death in
1997.
● Painter Pablo Picasso was a prime suspect in this theft
One of the interesting Mona Lisa facts is that Pablo Picasso who was a famous painter at the time was initially
accused of stealing the painting.
In fact, he was the prime suspect and was taken in front of a judge together with his then-friend and French writer,
Guillaume Apollinaire.
How did all this come to be? Well, Guillaume Apollinaire’s former secretary, Honore-Joseph Géry Pieret testified that
he had previously stolen some art pieces from the Louvre and sold them to his “friends” and those friends happen to
be Pablo Picasso and Guillaume Apollinaire.
Of course, it didn’t seem far-fetched that the people who had initially bought stolen art from the Louvre could possibly
also have the Mona Lisa and that’s why they were prime suspects.
Two years later, the thief, an Italian handyman, Vincenzo Peruggia, was finally caught. [...]

What does the hurricane scale tell us?
Hurricanes are categorized by their wind speeds on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale. The scale was first
developed by Herb Saffir, a structural engineer, and Bob Simpson, a meteorologist.
Hurricanes are split into five categories based on the wind speeds they produce.
To be considered a “major” hurricane, according to the National Hurricane Center, a storm must reach Category 3 or
above.
A hurricane’s strength matters because it helps meteorologists give residents in its path an idea of what type of
damage is possible.
A Category 2 hurricane, for example, has the potential to cause major roof damage to homes, snap or uproot
shallowly rooted trees, and knock out power in an area for days to weeks.
When a hurricane reaches Category 5 strength, the center can predict that “catastrophic damage will occur,”
according to the Saffir-Simpson scale. Winds from a Category 5 hurricane can destroy homes, fell trees and power
lines and possibly leave an area without power for weeks or months.
Because the hurricane category scale is based only on wind speeds, a number of factors are not considered.
“Wind is only one of four hazards, four primary hazards, associated with a tropical cyclone,” said Dr. Michael Brennan,
the acting deputy director of the National Hurricane Center, using the broader term for a hurricane. “You can also
have rainfall and flooding, storm surge, tornadoes, rip currents.”
Other hurricane-related dangers can occur after the storms have moved through an area.
When an affected area loses power, for example, many people often turn to portable generators to produce electricity.
But when they are used improperly, they can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.
And a weak Category 1 hurricane, or even a tropical storm, can still cause serious damage. A tropical storm can have
wind speeds between 39 m.p.h. and 73 m.p.h. If the storm strengthens and produces winds up to 74 m.p.h., it
becomes a Category 1 hurricane.

Brazil’s Supreme Court to vote on decriminalising abortion
By Katy Watson
Brazil’s Supreme Court has started voting on whether to decriminalise abortion. However, the session was quickly postponed after a minister called for the vote to take place in person instead of via video – and no new date has yet been set.
Currently, abortion is only allowed in three cases: that of rape, risk to the woman's life and anencephaly – when the foetus has an undeveloped brain.
If the Supreme Court votes in favour, abortion will be decriminalised up to 12 weeks of pregnancy. [...]

Convicted Brazilian fugitive captured, ending two-week manhunt in US
Harrisburg: A convicted murderer who escaped from a Pennsylvania jail has been captured with help from a heatsensing aircraft and a police dog, ending an intense, two-week manhunt that unnerved residents in the Philadelphia suburbs, authorities said.
Tactical teams surrounded the fugitive, Danelo Cavalcante, at around 8am in a rural area about 50 kilometres west of Philadelphia. As he tried to crawl away, a police dog subdued him and he was forcibly taken into custody, Pennsylvania State Police Lieutenant Colonel George Bivens said.
Cavalcante, who was armed with a rifle that he had stolen from a garage, was taken into custody without further incident. Bivens said he did not have the opportunity to use the firearm.
Cavalcante broke out of the Chester County Prison two weeks earlier by climbing between two walls that formed a narrow corridor in the jailhouse yard and scrambling onto the roof, according to police.
“It’s never easy to find someone who doesn’t want to be found in a large area,” Bivens said in response to a question about the extended manhunt during a Wednesday news briefing.

The counteroffensive may be flagging, but Crimea attack shows Ukraine can still inflict serious damage on the Russian military
On Wednesday, a large plume of smoke rose from a naval base near Sevastopol. Local authorities played down the incident, saying that a number of drones were brought down. But the Ukrainian military says it successfully hit a Russian command post near Verkhniosadove, a few kilometers from Sevastopol.
The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) noted that satellite imagery confirmed that Ukrainian forces “struck the 744th Communications Center of the Command of the Black Sea FleetD as part of an apparent Ukrainian effort to target Black Sea Fleet facilities.”

Boy cries Wolf
After astonishing breakthroughs in artificial intelligence,
many people worry that they will end up on the economic
scrapheap. Global Google searches for “is my job safe?” have
doubled in recent months, as people fear that they will be
replaced with large language models (LLMS). Some evidence
suggests that widespread disruption is coming. In a recent paper
Tyna Eloundou of OpenAI and colleagues say that “around 80% of
the US workforce could have at least 10% of their work tasks
affected by the introduction of LLMS”. Another paper suggests
that legal services, accountancy and travel agencies will face
unprecedented upheaval.
Economists, however, tend to enjoy making predictions about
automation more than they enjoy testing them. In the early
2010s many of them loudly predicted that robots would kill jobs
by the millions, only to fall silent when employment rates across
the rich world rose to all-time highs. Few of the doom-mongers
have a good explanation for why countries with the highest rates
of tech usage around the globe, such as Japan, Singapore and
South Korea, consistently have among the lowest rates of
unemployment.
Here we introduce our first attempt at tracking AI’s impact on
jobs. Using American data on employment by occupation, we
single out white-collar workers. These include people working in
everything from back-office support and financial operations to
copy-writers. White-collar roles are thought to be especially
vulnerable to generative AI, which is becoming ever better at
logical reasoning and creativity.
However, there is as yet little evidence of an AI hit to
employment. In the spring of 2020 white-collar jobs rose as a
share of the total, as many people in service occupations lost
their job at the start of the covid-19 pandemic. The white-collar
share is lower today, as leisure and hospitality have recovered.
Yet in the past year the share of employment in professions
supposedly at risk from generative AI has risen by half a
percentage point.
It is, of course, early days. Few firms yet use generative-AI
tools at scale, so the impact on jobs could merely be delayed.
Another possibility, however, is that these new technologies will
end up destroying only a small number of roles. While AI may be
efficient at some tasks, it may be less good at others, such as
management and working out what others need.
AI could even have a positive effect on jobs. If workers using
it become more efficient, profits at their company could rise
which would then allow bosses to ramp up hiring. A recent survey
by Experis, an IT-recruitment firm, points to this possibility. More
than half of Britain’s employers expect AI technologies to have a
positive impact on their headcount over the next two years, it
finds.
To see how it all shakes out, we will publish updates to this
analysis every few months. But for now, a jobs apocalypse seems
a way off.
