Overview   

What does the future accountant look like? In an article that was published on the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) website, the author Anne-Marie Vitale said, "As automation and technology continue to drive changing business models, the role of accountants and auditors will need to rapidly evolve and adapt." This is a fact that every accountant and auditor needs to face and act upon.
