ACCA Tanzania - Artificial Intelligence: Applicability for Finance Professionals Webinar - Friday 23 May 2025

Overview 

When you think about AI a lot of our accountants get nervous, but their role is just going to look different; we don’t see it replacing accounting or audit roles.

Concerns about AI?

1. Job displacement – Concern that AI/automation will directly replace entry-level accounting and finance roles, distorting traditional experiential pathways and making the path to qualification longer.
2. Need for upskilling – Recognition that accountants and auditors need to acquire skills to work alongside AI systems, with some concerns around growing skills gaps because of the pace of change of emerging technologies.
3. Changes to job roles – Recognition that while AI may not entirely replace accounting jobs, it will transform many jobs to be more analytical and advisory focused, with more oversight roles across transactional finance activities.
4. Risks of AI – Concerns of over reliance on AI technologies, reduced understanding of processes, as well as potential ethical issues and risks from increased AI automation, such as privacy, security, and algorithmic biases.
5. Uncertainty about the future – General uncertainty and concern about when and how significantly AI will impact accounting roles with open questions around the scope, timeline, and extent of disruption caused by AI automation.
