<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:left;"></p><p><span lang="en-us" xml:lang="en-us">This thesis explores the impact of emerging technologies on accounting firms, with a particular focus on three emerging technologies namely; Artificial Intelligence (AI), cloud computing, and Robotic Process Automation (RPA). As the auditing industry becomes increasingly complex and competitive, these technologies have the potential to transform traditional accounting practices by enhancing the efficiency, accuracy, and effectiveness of the accounting process. The study employs a quantitative approach to investigate the current state of technology adoption in accounting and auditing firms in Hungary and Kenya, as well as the perceived benefits and challenges of implementing them. The research includes a comprehensive literature review of existing studies and a survey of auditing professionals. The research design was descriptive survey. The study sample was 38 respondents drawn from Hungary and Kenya. Pilot study was conducted to establish the validity and reliability of the research instruments, where 5 respondents participated. Those who participated in the pilot study were not included in the actual data collection. Data collection was conducted through online survey which was distributed through online platforms. Data was coded, cleaned and analyzed using micros soft excel. To analyze the data, means, standard deviations and percentages were used. Results were presented using figures and tables. The findings revealed that emerging technologies offer significant potential to improve the accounting process, by faster data analysis, enhanced data security, and increased accuracy. However, the adoption of these technologies is not without challenges, such as concerns around data privacy and security, as well as the cost and complexity of implementation. The study also highlights the need for accounting firms to develop a clear strategy for technology adoption, including identifying the appropriate technologies for their specific needs and investing in appropriate training for staff. Furthermore, the findings suggest that there is a need for standardization in the adoption of emerging technologies across the industry to ensure consistent and effective use. Overall, this thesis provides valuable insights into the impact of emerging technologies on accounting firms, highlighting the potential benefits and challenges of their adoption. The study contributes to the growing body of knowledge on the use of technology in the accounting industry and provides guidance for accounting firms on best practices for technology adoption. Further research is recommended to be conducted on the challenges accounting and auditing firms face in the mainstreaming of emerging technologies for other services.<b></b></span></p><br><p></p>
