Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on LinkedIn

The field of accounting is changing dramatically as AI technology is threatening to reshape the industry. This article looks at how the role of AI automation in accounting is changing, what difference human accountants can make, and how these two forces can coexist in the future.

What’s the role of AI automation in accounting?

Accounting automation is nothing new; nevertheless, it is dramatically extending in scope and capability recently. Robotic Process Automation and Artificial Intelligence are at the forefront of this change.

AI automation involves automation that performs repetitive and rule-based defined tasks. In accounting, such activities often involve transaction entry, invoice processing, and reconciliations. AI automation helps improve efficiency by not committing errors and liberates the time for humans to work on other value added activities.

AI includes technologies such as machine learning and natural language processing that can be effectively used for accounting functions. For example, large data can be checked for pattern trend-setting, making predictions, and even giving insights. AI can be very useful in fraud detection through the identification of unusual patterns of transactions and highlighting the red flags before they turn into big problems.

These AI technologies provide a high level of accuracy, speed, and cost-effectiveness, enabling accountants to do other value-added work instead of spending time on mundane tasks. Most of these tasks are being automated by AI, but on the other hand, this also raises concerns regarding the role human accountants will play in the future.

How do human accountants add value?

Human qualities like emotional intelligence, strategic decision making and critical thinking cannot be taken over by AI automation. 

Critical Thinking and Problem Solving: The human accountant will understand how to make sense of complex financial data and give strategic advice based on different scenarios. As automation takes over routine activities; no machine could be programmed to replace critical thinking while making strategic decisions with incomplete and/ or ambiguous information.

Client Relationships: The nature of accounting means that good client relationships have to be developed and maintained. Human accountants are much more effective in communication, empathy, and perception of the requirements of the clients to deliver specialised advice and establish bonds of trust.

Ethical Judgement: Accounting is a very important profession that calls for tremendous adherence to ethical compliance and integrity. They are supposed to interpret regulations, make ethical decisions, and maintain standards which cannot be covered fully by automation.

Custom Solutions: Many accounting situations require solutions that are tailor-made and are not possible to automate easily. Human accountants are able to adjust in situations unique to clients and derive individual strategies in accordance with specific goals of the business.

Balancing automation with human expertise

The future of accounting is likely to be a hybrid that will harness the power of AI alongside human expertise. Basically, one would consider striking a balance between the efficiency and accuracy provided by technology and critical thinking in the delivery of service with a human touch.

Workflow Optimization: By automating routine tasks, it allows more time for accountants to be involved in higher-value activities that include strategic planning, financial analysis, and advisory services. All these factors assist firms in improving workflow and achieving higher productivity.

Upskilling and Reskilling: One must acquire new skills to adapt to the changing landscape. Training in data analysis, AI, and technology management will gain great importance. Professionals will continue to be competitive only by embracing lifelong learning and keeping themselves updated on continuous technological changes.

Tool Integration: Automation tools can only be successfully integrated into any existing systems through planning. Accountants need to make sure such tools are complementing their expertise and align with the business objectives. Effective integration would optimise the efficiencies of both automation as well as human contributions. 

What will be the future of accountant job roles? 

With the evolution of automation, accountant job roles would change. Some of the expected changes are:

Advisory Roles: Accountants would increasingly shift to advisory roles, strategic planning, financial forecasting, and business consulting. This shift would require deep knowledge of technology and business strategy.

Technology Management: Accountants will need to be able to manage and implement the accounting technologies, which include AI, automation, and other tools, with an understanding of these technologies to ensure they are effective within the firm.

Data Analysis: With the emergence of big data, this will be an area where professionals within the accounting domain will render critical services in relation to the analyses and interpretation of huge datasets. This career role requires advanced skills in data analysis and interpretation with a view to rendering valuable insights to the client.

Ethics and Compliance: Maintaining ethical standards and compliance with relevant regulations will become endemic in accounting. Human accountants would still have to be available to ensure the integrity and trustworthiness of financial reporting.

How could accountants train for the AI future?

To be successful in an evolving accounting landscape, one needs to make an investment in continuous learning and development. Here are strategies on how to become future-ready:

Embrace Technology: Exposure and familiarisation with new and emerging technologies, especially those in the fields of AI, Automation, and Blockchain, are a must for accountants. Online courses, workshops, and certifications will help professionals attain knowledge in such areas.

Building Analytical Skills: Ability to do data analysis and interpretation will be imperative. Many of the skills needed can be developed through training programs and courses in data analytics.

Team Soft Skills: The role of communication, critical thinking, and relationship management with clients is bound to remain. All accountants will have to develop these soft skills that complement the technical expertise.

Conclusion

The future of accounting is where one can expect a balance between AI automation and human expertise. While efficiency and accuracy gains are certainly possible through AI, there will always be some critical values that humans will bring in such as the ability for critical thought, client relations, and ethical judgement. Only by balancing these two elements with investments in continuous training, will accountants stand better chances of successfully navigating changes in the landscape to remain relevant in the future of accounting.

For many firms that want to be at the forefront in this fast-paced environment, Integra Balance AI has innovative solutions and expertise to make the transition towards an AI-driven accounting practice seamless.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. Will automation replace human accountants completely?

A1. No, though automation may be very empowered to do most of the routine tasks, it is the critical thinking, ethical judgement, and client relationships that require a human accountant. The future will most likely be a mix between automation and human expertise.

Q2. Which skills, according to you, should accountants focus on in the future?

A2. Accountants need to focus more on the management of technology, analysis of data, and advisory functions. Soft skills like communication and critical thinking would continue to be relevant.

Q3. How can accounting firms integrate AI effectively?

A3. The integration of the AI automation tools with the existing systems and workflows is very essential and needs to be planned properly by the firms. Further, training the staff in using them and aligning with the business goals is also pivotal to its effective integration.

Q4. What are the benefits of AI in accounting?A4. AI can be good in several ways: it helps to analyse the data more efficiently, find fraud, and give predictive analytics. This comes down to better efficiency through automation of some redundant tasks and, therefore, equips a useful business intellect.
