Beyond the Books: Accounting in the Age of AI — Will Robots Replace Accountants?
Artificial intelligence, automation, and blockchain are changing the way businesses operate—and accounting is right in the middle of it. From automated bookkeeping to smart contracts and predictive analytics, today’s accountants need to know more than just debits and credits.

You’ll explore how these technologies are already reshaping roles in public accounting, corporate finance, and auditing—and what skills future accountants will need to stay ahead.
