Overview
The emergence of new digital economic models such as big data analysis, robotics, and artificial intelligence continues to challenge the organisational structures, functional roles, and operating mechanisms of various entities such as governments, businesses, and universities. As a result, digital transformation has become a "must-have" for all organizations, as well as a crucial aspect of talent development.
The rapid development and application of digital technology poses challenges and opportunities for the accounting profession, which is a key area of national development strategy. While digital technology has reduced the demand for accounting personnel to engage in repetitive and rule-based work, it has greatly enhanced their ability to conduct forward-looking, analytical, and decision-making tasks.
New accounting professionals must not only master accounting expertise and develop an in-depth understanding of business, but also possess holistic strategic thinking skills, the ability to use big data mining, processing, decision-making, as well as all-round professional skills such as communication, teamworking, and leadership.
