Will the Accounting industry be replaced by AI in the future?
AI has been replacing many traditional accounting tasks, bringing outstanding efficiency. Tasks such as data entry, invoice processing, financial reporting or primary auditing can now be performed by some software such as QuickBooks, Xero or Zoho Books.
However, AI cannot completely replace the accounting industry. Many experts emphasize that humans still play a core role in tasks that require strategic thinking and professional ethics.
Vietnamnet newspaper quoted Ms. Helen Brand, CEO of ACCA Global, saying that AI is an opportunity for accountants to focus on creating strategic value instead of repetitive tasks.
Similarly, Professor Alan Parkison asserts that robots cannot take the jobs of accountants, but they must adapt to technology.
Aspects that are difficult for AI to replace include: Financial consulting and strategic planning, Legal monitoring and compliance, Accounting estimates,...
In general, although it cannot be completely replaced, in reality, if accountants only do simple tasks such as data entry and payroll, they may lose their jobs due to AI. According to Dan Tri, new graduates will face great competition when job opportunities in these positions decrease.
Therefore, young people and accountants need to proactively adapt, improve their technological skills as well as expertise to take advantage of the opportunities that AI brings.
