Management Accounting Competencies by Ms Hadeel Nasser
Presentation Summary -Management accounting, like many fields, is being disrupted by a whole host of new technologies, including Big Data, predictive analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, cognitive computing, machine learning, and robotics process automation (RPA). While these will result in the elimination of many management accounting positions, they also have the potential to create new ones. The key to the latter will be the continued evolution of the role of the management accountant from its traditional focus on financial reporting and stewardship to becoming a more complete business partner who enables an organization to enhance performance.
Attend this presentation to learn: Are today’s management accounting competencies fit for purpose to assume this new role in a digital age that is advancing at a dizzying rate of change? The answer is no—changes and rebalancing will need to occur in the skill set possessed by management accountants. Some current skills will become less important, others more important, and some new skills—especially in the areas of information technology and analytics—will need to be acquired.
