Why are accountants not being taught information technology

What We Discuss on This Episode

In this episode, I want to invite accountants and auditors on how the profession is today and what needs to change in the wake of emerging technologies like Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence and the rest.

These technologies are bringing more and more automation to the profession, and therefore should accountants be sitting on the sidelines witnessing for this change to happen or rather participate and evolve?

I do not have all the answers on what needs to be done, but this is an inquisitive attempt to encourage more discussion on this topic, which from what I see is lacking from the leading professional accountancy qualifications
