As inovações tecnológicas e a contabilidade : os impactos no cotidiano do profissional contábil

Abstract

The present study aims to demonstrate the impacts that technological innovations have brought to the daily life of the accounting professional. In the theoretical framework, we sought to address which areas and in what way were impacted by technology and how the professional has been adapting. From the methodological perspective, it is a descriptive research with a quantitative-qualitative approach where data were collected by sending a structured survey questionnaire. The questionnaire was sent to about 200 accountants via whatsapp groups, being answered by 37 accountants. Based on the results, it is inferred that the accountant has been adapting to technology, and the accounting practice has been totally affected by information technology, the internet and management software, with the most mentioned points by the interviewees being: agility, ease, practicality and automation. of movements that were previously totally manual, in addition to the integration of data between the official bodies involved. All considered to have a good understanding of the advances and most companies offer means for their employees to adapt, however, the interaction is still not satisfactory, since most accountants reported that they do not carry out continuing education frequently. Thus denoting the need to encourage the accountant in this regard, as technology constantly evolves, being one of the disadvantages related to technological impacts, because in addition, the accounting professional deals with changes in accounting legislation. Therefore, it is essential that the professional has an interest in continuing education either individually or through training and specializations offered by work.
