What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Answers to this question could cover a wide range. Most likely the following items will be discussed or mentioned:
— the probable demise of the double-entry system as the need for such redundancy is much less in a database system.
— financial reporting may become more of accessing a database of corporate data in the format desired by the user than relying on financial reports prepared by accountants.
— accountants will no longer need to be the filter for accounting data as users will be able to do this themselves, thus the accountants may become more decision makers and managers.
— the whole notion of internal controls will become more important in the future if the accountants' role changes in relation to financial reporting.
