Digitization and Financial Reporting – How Technology Innovation May Drive the Shift toward Continuous Accounting

Abstract: Technological forces, including but not limited to blockchain and artificial intelligence platforms, are driving change not only in the accounting profession, but business at large.

“…A significant number of these exploratory articles investigate different facets of the impact of BT on the accounting industry (Karajovic et al , 2019), the accounting profession (Desplebin et al , 2019; Kwilinski, 2019) and potential advantages and concerns (Fuller and Markelevich, 2019; Sinha, 2020). There is also a focus on areas such as risks to private and permissioned blockchains (Sheldon, 2019), security risk assessments (White et al , 2020), internal audit activities (Rooney et al , 2017) and the meaning of continuous accounting and auditing (Smith, 2018b, c) in tandem with big data and smart contracts (Vasarhelyi et al , 2015).…”

“…Future accountants' responsibilities will go beyond the current sphere of accounting and financial reporting and move toward complex data analysis, forecasting and consulting with a solid legal and IT background. This change will entail the need to improve skills and competencies regarding new technologies and the handling of large volumes of data, complemented by more general skills of analysis and synthesis, critical thinking and communication (Kokina and Davenport, 2017; Smith, 2018a, b, c).…”

“…De este modo, la inteligencia artificial se define como la automatización de las actividades relacionadas con el pensamiento humano, como lo son la toma de decisiones, la resolución de problemas y el aprendizaje (Bellman, 1978). Smith (2018), por su parte, la define como un conjunto de programas que replica elementos del comportamiento humano; esto se relaciona con elaboración de software y hardware, también conocidos como Sistemas de Información Interorganizacionales siio (ios, por sus siglas en inglés) los cuales realizan las tareas, organizan procesos y reducen tiempos en las entidades, aportando a la relación entre los diferentes actores de la economía. Los siio se empezaron a utilizar en la década de los setenta (Kreuzer, Born, & Bernius, 2014).…”

“…A inovação tecnológica está promovendo significativas mudanças na sociedade, mercado de trabalho e organizações (Byrd & Turner, 2000;Millar, Lockett & Ladd, 2018;Tektüfekçi, 2019), além de ser uma pertinente fonte de vantagem competitiva para as organizações (Reis, 2008;Turra, Mioranza & Coltre, 2017). Não obstante, os escritórios prestadores de serviços contábeis também estão sentindo o impacto dessa inovação tecnológica (Silva, Eyerkaufer & Rengel, 2019;Smith, 2018), sob diversos aspectos, como a confiabilidade, a complexidade na execução de serviços, bem como na eficiência organizacional (Zwirtes & Alves, 2014).…”

“…Surge a necessidade de compreender a inovação tecnológica e como essa se apresenta nos diferentes estágios em que os escritórios se encontram, em consonância a emergente disrupção tecnológica nos escritórios contábeis (Kumar, 2018;Pepe, 2011;Schiavi, Momo, Behr & Maçada, 2020;Silva et al, 2019;Smith, 2018;Rîndaşu, 2019;Rudansky-Kloppers & Van den Bergh, 2019). Por meio das evidências sobre essas relações entre fatores condicionantes e limitantes à inovação tecnológica e sua associação com as características dos escritórios contábeis, subsídios são elencados para a gestão dos mesmos.…”
