The Impact of Digital Transformation on Accounting Offices in Brazil

Abstract

Objective: to analyze the impact of digital transformation on accounting firms in Brazil, to identify the main challenges and discuss how adaptations to the digital accounting world occur. Methodology: this is bibliographic research with a qualitative approach carried out with 23 articles published in recent years, searching the database and performing critical analysis in an exploratory manner, obtaining information based on the context of digital transformation. Results: it was identified that digital transformation has caused all organizations to adapt to the technological process in an efficient, competitive and rapid way, as has been noticeable in recent years. In recent decades, we have observed that even the most traditional accounting firms have needed to adapt to new technologies, thus adopting the accounting 4.0 system to automate their accounting processes. However, the process is still limited because even though the country has many active offices, it is possible to observe that there are still professionals who are afraid of this radical change in the work format. Conclusion: it was found that this theme is something recent and still very recurrent in accounting, highlighting the importance of the changes and adaptations occurring in this transformative and technological era of the accounting environment.
