Disrupção contábil: desafios e novas tendências da profissão

Abstract

This study aimed to understand the effects of the so-called accounting disruption, considering the consequences of the Covid-19 crisis and its influence on the routine of accounting professionals. For this purpose, we conducted a survey that interviewed 39 professionals from the city of Dourados/MS, observing their perceptions of the main challenges of the profession and the new trends that arise in this context. In an evaluation, respondents identified the profile of skills considered essential for accounting professionals to face the crisis. From the data analysis, we found that most of the focused groups maintained the same workload. However, the professionals who migrated to the remote work modality consider themselves satisfied with the experience. As for the main difficulties faced during this period, meeting the deadlines had the highest average. By listing some forces with a potential impact on the profession, the development of more automated and intelligent accounting systems stood out as a relevant trend in the view of those who answered. The assessment group related to business competencies was considered the most relevant, and the item with a remarked emphasis leads to the customer needs and changes in the market.
