A future without jobs: Reimagining accounting careers

This short, proactive presentation will uncover the latest insights into why and how accounting skills and roles will be profoundly reshaped in the next decade. Exploration will be made of how pressure from the design of work and employment will see employment in many traditional accounting occupations diminish. This will occur while the professional capabilities of accountants continue to migrate across other disciplines and industries. In conclusion we will consider how the profession, employers and educators respond to a paradox where future accounting jobs as we know them disappear while employment opportunities for those possessing accounting skills expand.
