At the moment it seems clear that these
10 technologies are coming together to
create the ‘new normal’. Accountants
have a significant role to play in this
increasingly connected and
interconnected ecosystem. The internet
and cloud-based technology resources
are reshaping myriad aspects of
business: from the way we finance,
resource and develop new and existing
enterprises, to the way we create, buy
and sell products and services. Nothing
in the future is certain, and the
unforeseen interactions between these
technologies promise to be both
interesting and challenging.
This document does not aim to make
predictions, but rather to stimulate
discussion about a broad range of
emerging and converging technologies
and their potential to influence finance
professionals. The following
propositions are based on available,
established and emerging
technologies, and the ways in which
they could potentially impact on the
finance profession over the next five to
10 years and beyond.
