The document discusses the transformation of accounting in the digital era. It notes that accounting must shift from retrospective to predictive and provide data insights and non-financial information. Accountants will need to work with and partner technology. Key skills for the future include cloud computing, blockchain, coding, leadership, communication, and data analytics. The accounting curriculum will also need to incorporate more technology-related courses like data analytics and business intelligence to prepare accountants for these changes.
