It is impossible to predict the future
with any degree of certainty. By keeping
informed about technologies as they
evolve, considering new technologies
as they emerge, and then assessing
their implications for finance
professionals and those they serve and
support, accountants can be prepared
to minimise the burdens and maximise
the benefits. In this way the profession
can exploit technology and potentially
change the scope of what it means to
be an accountant.
