Changes in Technology, Software, Additional Skills, Soft SkillAbstract
The continuously evolving technology has led to the possibility that some professions will be replaced. Especially the field of accounting, which is considered to be easily replaceable by technology. Therefore, the purpose of this work is to identify the role of technology that facilitates the accounting profession, analyse the development of software that poses a threat to the work of accountants, and determine the additional skills needed by an accountant to face these technological changes. A qualitative method is employed in this research, involving in-depth analysis of related literature studies that specifically extract information through literature reviews. The research findings indicate that technology, on one hand, provides many conveniences for accountants, but on the other hand, shifts or transforms the role of accountants from tasks involving data input or calculations to a role that emphasizes critical thinking in finding solutions and making decisions. Therefore, for accountants, social skills in the form of soft skills become crucial to endure and compete in this situation.
