Abstract

ABSTRACT: Accounting has undergone numerous changes over the years, both in legal and technological aspects. This evolution has given rise to the need for information to be passed on in an increasingly agile manner and for it to be detailed and clear, so that it can serve as a basis for the organization's decision making. This gave rise to digital accounting where the information is treated digitally allowing a faster treatment of the information bringing benefits not only for the companies, but also for the accountant himself. In view of this, this work aims to analyze the challenges and advances that technology provides for the accounting office, emphasizing the benefits of technology applied to processes and office management. To achieve the proposed objective the methodology adopted in this work is the bibliographic review of an exploratory nature. The results show that the technological advance has been of fundamental importance for accounting organizations, helping in decision making, preparing projections of financial indexes, monthly balance sheets, among other benefits of a fast and clear processing of information. It is concluded then that it is necessary that the accountant understands about the effectiveness and efficiency of the use of the information systems adopted by the companies, and should always be updated about the evolutions and novelties, in order to provide resources that better adapt to the companies' needs.
