Impacts Of Digital Technologies on Accountants’ Jobs in Vietnam

Abstract

The study investigates the impact of digital technologies on accountants’ jobs in Vietnam, specifically whether the adoption of digital accounting contributes to accountants’ success. The study employs a quantitative approach by using a survey data-gathering method integrating inferential statistics such as cross-sectional regression analysis to arrive at evidence-based findings. As a result, in this study, it was shown that Big Data Analytics (“BDA”) and Cloud computing are the digital technologies that have the most significant impact on accountants’ jobs in Vietnam. Notably, BDA adoption in accounting could lead to authenticity issues that might affect the data analytics quality and accountants’ financial strategy. Besides, cloud computing adoption might also result in data security matters among accountants in Vietnam. The result of this study contributes to the accountants’ success in general since it alerts them on the high-impact digital technologies and identifies the digital matters that accountants shall concentrate on in the current digitalisation era
