For this study, in collaboration with Prof. Dr Thomas Hess and Prof. Dr Thorsten Sellhorn (both from Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich), surveyed 183 accounting executives from companies in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The results provide a comprehensive overview of the current situation, which our experts analyse for you in the study. Find out, amongst other things,

which digitalisation measures in accounting are already considered standard practice and where companies still see untapped potential,
why the focus of many finance departments is currently shifting from technical fundamentals to the productive use of AI,
where AI is already creating added value and which technologies are seen as the next stage of development,
which skills may determine the success of digital transformation in the future – and which organisational models are gaining in importance.
