Accounting has undergone a digital revolution in recent years. While innovation used to mean a paperless workflow, today we are talking about artificial intelligence (AI) that makes processes faster, more accurate and more secure. But where is this trend heading and what should companies be prepared for?
Current situation in the world:
- 71% of companies are already using AI in financial reporting and audits.
- Generative AI creates reports and analyses in hours, not days.
- Automation reduces manual labor up to 80% and speeds up the closing of monthly reports up to 40%.
- Investment in AI in accounting will grow to $35 billion by 2029.
Future directions:
- Full automation– end-to-end AI auditing.
- Proactive financial management– real-time forecasts and risk identification.
- New threats– AI-generated fake documents that require authentic digital evidence.
- Regulations and ethics– transparency, accountability and international standards.
What to be prepared for?
- Invest in data quality and security.
- Prepare employees for a new role: analyst, advisor, strategist.
- Develop skills: technology, data analysis, communication.
- Create AI usage policies and training.
AI is no longer a technology of the future – it is today’s reality. Companies that act now will gain a competitive advantage. Those that wait risk being left behind.
