  3. There are many headlines about how AI, blockchain, etc., will make accountants and auditors “go away” The real issue is that as accounting, auditing and tax become more and more “digitized” there will be more and more things that can be done to and with the data – some using AI, some with DSS and analytics will be at the base … ???

  4. Is Accounting Getting Away from Accounting? However, as accounting gets digitized, we wonder if we need accountants OR others to analyze the data Good News!?

  5. I think we are at a Technology Tipping Point • “You need to understand this new world like you understand accounting. That new world is data quality, data analytics, business intelligence, data modeling and data governance. • There are very fundamental changes that people need to understand are happening and they need to begin the process. There is a lot of training that most professionals are going to have to go through to get themselves to the level where they are really comfortable to play in this space. • And don’t forget that with every wave of innovation and technology, a cottage industry of jobs will be created …” • Body is a Quote from Rick Richardson
