Abstract:

The question regarding the future of the accounting profession is being raised more and more often. The most powerful professional accounting organizations are directing all their resources to study the problems of the future of accounting. The issues regard accounting as a whole, the profession, what types of personnel will be needed for business and the public sector, and possible effects of digitalization. It is argued that the role of the professional accountant is undergoing a dramatic transformation, that in the future she will assume the role of a strategic business partner in the organization and must therefore acquire new competencies. This paper outlines what these competences should be and how to gain them.
