Business Advisory News For Accountants

A clear warning was issued by two prominent speakers at the Australian Technology Showcase for Accountants (ATSA) Conference in Melbourne, held on 20-21 October 2014.  They indicated that ‘digital disruption’ is starting to affect accountants. Two years ago, Deloitte produced a report, ‘Digital disruption – short-fuse, big bang?’  This report predicted that professional services, of which the accountancy profession is a key component, would encounter 33% of revenues becoming ‘disrupted’ over time.
