Of the many diverse and fascinating challenges we face today, the most intense and important is how to understand and shape the new technology revolution, which entails nothing less than a transformation of humankind.” (Klaus Schwab, 2016: The Fourth Industrial Revolution). Based on that statement, this course is intended to introduce students to the development of the accounting discipline in the face of the challenges and opportunities of the digital era. It is suitable not only for accounting students, but is intended for all business students who care about the role of accounting in business. Accounting is the language of business - the essential measures of a corporation’s vital statistics. Its importance cannot be overstated. The technical aspects of accounting are minimized in this course.

Graduating students will be able to recognize the essential elements of a digital economy, understand the role of accounting in business, and understand in detail the challenges and evolutions that accounting disciplines face in the digital era.
