The use of the traditional system is declined greatly and with a modernization of
the accounting and finance process there have been a great deal of change, and
these improvements are beneficial to the accounting and finance industry.
Adopting Artificial Intelligence applications such as Expert systems for audit and
tax, Intelligent Agents for customer service, Machine Learning for decision
making, etc. can lead a great benefit by reducing errors and increasing the
efficiency of the accounting and finance processes. To keep ensuring a
transparent and replicable process, we have conducted a meta-analysis. The
database search was between the years 1989-2020 and reviewed 150 research
papers. As meta-analysis results show, the majority of researches illustrate a
positive effect of the impact of AI systems in the accounting and finance process.

1.0. Introduction
Many industries are turning to Artificial Intelligence (AI) to perform tasks that were
previously performed by humans. When it comes to processing massive amounts of
data, finding fraud by identifying unusual operations, communicating with
customers online, and performing other essential functions, the financial services
NBR industry has embraced AI. For example, in the facial reorganization, voice
3,1 recognition, or Machine Learning (ML), there are several excellent use cases. In
addition to enhancing customer value propositions, new technologies also improve
efficiency and effectiveness in the organization. Financial Stability Board Study has
established the use of Artificial Intelligence technology for regulatory enforcement,
oversight, evaluation of data quality, and identification of fraud by organizations
Page 57
both public and private (FSB, 2017). The accounting systems and processes are
converted into computer formats from the arena of paper journals and booklets with
the advent of computers that have pushed artificial intelligence into methods of self-
management, self-configuration, self-diagnosis, and self-healing that ensure
maximum accounting performance. The evolution of accounting software and the
new artificial intelligence development have fully changed accounting systems.
Extent studies have shown that the efficiency of accounting operations is positively
affected by Internet computers, software/expert systems, and more recent
developments in Artificial Intelligence (Ballada, 2012).
It has been a hot topic in recent years to predict the AI applications that will be
available in the financial services sector soon. Especially as blockchains and
cryptocurrency acceptance expands, there is a high probability that transactional
security and account security will improve. Due to the reduction or elimination of
transaction costs, the need for an intermediary is eliminated. All types of digital
assistants and applications will continue to improve themselves through cognitive
computing. From the payment of bills to the preparation of tax returns, intelligent
machines can plan and carry out short- and long-term activities. VR's advanced
auto-assistance technologies can also predict better customer service as NLP
progresses and learns more from previous experiences. A greater level of
transparency will result from more detailed, accurate client reporting and more
comprehensive due diligence checks, which would take too many hours to be
performed by humans (Bachinskiy, 2019).
During the era of Artificial Intelligence, conventional accounting staff would
leave the accounting program to complete a few more complex tasks. These would
significantly boost working performance, minimize errors, increase companies'
productivity, and also allow the accounting industry to further transforming the
accounting field (Chaoyi et al., 2020). The accounting industry has a long history of
applications for artificial intelligence (AI), mainly for financial reporting and
auditing, dating back 25 years (Giudici, 2018). Artificial intelligence (AI),
particularly in connection with the accounting profession, has recently improved
significantly from paper and pencil entry to software and computer entry. The most
recent invention of AI products has contributed to the development of robots and a
stronger infrastructure of experts in accounting software. This emerging technology
phenomenon has therefore induced much change in the market climate and affected
the activity of the business. The evolution of accounting software and the new
artificial intelligence development have fully changed accounting systems. Extent
studies have shown that the efficiency of accounting operations is positively
affected by Internet computers, software/expert systems, and more recent
developments in artificial intelligence.
Artificial Intelligence Algorithms with higher sophistication can meet the need for
NBR new power in the financial field as computer computing power increases. AI is
3,1 widely used in investment management, algorithm trading, fraud detection, loan,
and insurance underwriting, to name just a few. Regulators will be able to
determine illegal compliance using artificial intelligence. This is an evolution of the
experience based on the supervision of transactions and the analysis of massive
Page 58 amounts of data, while new required skills and knowledge for regulators will be
discussed.
When it comes to stock investments on the financial market, the public is always
eager to understand the underlying rules, which can be used for analysis and
prediction (Huang, 2009). To maximize the profit, investment experts from around
the world are applying different methods of investment analysis and data mining to
the vast amounts of publicly available stock market data. Market and non-market
factors interact with each other, making it difficult to establish an accurate model of
internal interaction (Preis, 2012). A "black box" model prediction using machine
learning is increasingly used in stock market forecasting.
2.0. Terminology
The science and technology behind the robot design, development, and deployment
as an Artificial Intelligence technology (Graetz, 2017). In other words, it is concerned
with the construction, design, function, and use of robots. The robots are similarly
matched to the human interface, which removes the need to change programs (e.g.,
ERP, software store, accounting, payroll), or the basic infrastructure of information
technology Each robot is logged and monitored to satisfy audit requirements and
guarantee the integrity of the data. In every category of business management
activity, RPA has become a very useful and important method. Software robots can
conduct traditional work processes: opened, read, and sent emails, scanned,
retrieved, modified, validated, data entered through different applications, opened,
read and sent emails, processed, and formatted data, and make decisions.
Expert systems are artificial intelligence programs introduced during the 1980s
that achieve a degree of competence that can replace human expertise in a given
decision-making area. Artificial intelligence technology is quickly applied and most
commonly used by expert systems. They provide computer programs that simulate
expert thought in a specific area. They also come with machine shells of expert
experts. A system shell by an expert is a software programming system that allows
expert or information-based systems to be built. Therefore, where a person/group
has special knowledge that others need, a field for an expert system is possible
(Taghizadeh et al., 2013). Academic auditors were interested in the study of the
functions of expert audit systems. One of the initial attempts was to use artificial
intelligence technology in an auditing sense. TICOM (the internal control model)
(Bailey et al., 1985). Although TICOM is not an expert system framework, it is an
analytical method focused on the principle of artificial intelligence of the
representation of information and simplified diagrams. TICOM is designed to help
the auditor plan, analyse and review internal control systems for the Decision
Support Assistance system.
The auditor will use TICOM to model the information system and then test the
internal control system using the querying functionality. Hansen and Messier also
developed one of the first expert auditing programs, EDP-EXPERT. The framework
was developed to provide the EDP auditor with decision support, an environment
that is appropriate for the development of the expert system due to the complex and
NBR diverse nature of the audit systems and the small number of experienced and
3,1 professional EDP auditors. A computer audit professional was the expert and
provided the system with weights and suggestions (Hansen and Messier Jr., 1987).
Expert systems have made an enormous contribution to the accounting profession
over the past fifteen years. Due to the high cost of developing these systems, only
Page 59 large accounting companies have been active in developing most expert accounting
systems.
Advances in IT are quickly entering the daily business operations, enhancing
production performance, increasing the quality of information, and changing the
essence of business processes, including financial reporting One such innovation is
computerized intelligent agents (IA), independent software companies which
employ their know-how to achieve user's aims (Gao et al., 2007). Companies are
looking forward to implementing IAs to reduce the costs of this innovative
technology and increase production. The research conducted by Huaiqing et al.,
(2007), has included lightweight Intelligent Agents in financial surveillance systems.
The intelligent agents can have an efficient way of systematically tracking corporate
financial transactions, identification, and reporting of any financial irregular
transactions that could lead to unhedged threats, fraud, and other financial
contradictions. They also suggested an ontological structure focused on a detailed
review and an abstraction of UML-based financial transactions. These ontologies
provide all information correspondence within the system with a single vocabulary.
The use of ontologies will contribute to an unequivocal comprehension of the
concepts and the potential source of misunderstanding. Moreover, such models
provide a uniform structure in terms of their strengths and limitations, where
different systems can be compared. The intelligent agent is ideal for a particular
company situation. The selection of the system would depend on the size of the
organization, the production process, cost classification, and other elements.
In the future of the auditing and accounting professions, artificial intelligence is
important. The use of artificial intelligence applications in accounting goes back
decades. Greenman (2017) acknowledged that numerous artificial intelligence
systems and techniques have been used by the domain of accounting researchers,
and successfully performed in basic financial and analytical reports and audit
reassurance tasks. The auditor, who recognizes, monitors, and improves the
analytical and cognitive structures and processes, will therefore prosper. Fogel et al.,
(2017) see the implementation of expert systems as being of greater interest to the
accountant than the displacement of technology. He says that in the past business
owners and their accountants will make choices based on statistics which are often
out of date, but expert systems and the automation of the data processes always
include up-to-date details concerning the business that makes it possible to take
much informed decisions (Fogel et al., 2017).
Chukwudi et al. (2018) gave some insights into the gains made by AI and their
positive effects on accounting. They pointed out that accuracy and speed will
increase, outside and intern reporting will be improved, paper use will be
decreased, usability and usefulness will be increased, as will an improved database
system. This would transform AI into an effective consulting service, which would
be boring and painstaking. In the world of industry 4.0, accounting companies must
remain competitive and constructive. They must react, take and adjust their choices
continuously to optimize profitability and services and drive business process
improvements (Barta, 2018). In conventional accounts, the jobs of the accounting
NBR department are not split, this is often seen in small and medium-sized enterprises.
3,1 All financial staff can access both bookkeeping and cash-flow, which is why the
organization is missing, and this can lead to financial theft, as it allows themselves
access to self-serving criminals. However, by integrating artificial intelligence,
computers can do a significant portion of the accounting and other related work,
Page 60 accounting staff only have to provide guidance and review them. At the end of the
time, the machine settles the bill and performs the test balance automatically. Each
accountant has unique rights in the accounting system (scanner, retina scanner, etc.)
and has different passwords and accounting, simple division of responsibility,
thereby minimizing financial fraud to some levels.
As it shows in the below-given table, the majority of research papers are published
on the platform Researchgate. The second group an Others which include various

This part of the results illustrates the participants and elements of gathered data for
certain research. Table 5 below shows the type of participants which are
Professionals, students, different financial and finance companies, and their
customers as well. Moreover, the scientist papers are also included. The leader
among the objectives is a research paper with a high indicator. By science articles
about the impact of AI in accounting and finance, the positive feature is at the top
with 45 papers. Although 12 of these papers have negative and 11 neutral impacts of
AI in the accounting and finance process. Accounting and finance companies and
their customers indicate nest results: 41 positive, 4 negative, and 8 are neutrally
NBR
impacted with AI in accounting and finance processing. Hence, by professionals, the
3,1
features have fluctuated. The positively impacted researches are sharply high and
negative case is 1, neutral impacted papers are only 4. Regarding students is the
almost same indicator with only 1 research paper for positive, negative, and neutral
Page 65 criteria. In other words, by sorting out criteria among the participants, on the top is
scientific papers, after taking a place accounting and finance companies and their
customers. Professionals indicate more positive impact and students are remaining
stable with the number of impacted cases of AI in accounting and finance.

7.0. Conclusion
Page 66 The future of the accounting and finance professions relies on Artificial Intelligence.
AI is an important tool for offering these professionals the resources they need to
improve their work productivity and effectiveness (Baldwin et al., 2006). Regarding
the results of the conducted research, AI applications have a strong positive impact
on the accounting and finance process, especially an Expert System and Intelligent
Agent by reducing errors, increasing efficiency of the audit process, cost-saving, and
time-saving by training inexperienced accounting staff. As meta-analysis results
show, the majority of research papers between the years 1989-2020 illustrate a
strong positive effect of AI systems in the accounting and finance process. Through
their analysis conclusions, most authors agreed about increasing efficiency in the
NBR accounting process by adopting AI systems. The study found a positive effect on
3,1 accounting performance with the use of artificial intelligence. AI systems will in the
next few decades take increasing decisions from people. While accountants have
been using technology for a long time to enhance their actions and give businesses
more value, this provides the ability to restore, refurbish and substantially improve
company standards and investment decisions, which are the ultimate goals of the
Page 67
profession. In 10 years, time, the accounting profession will look markedly different
from now. Contributing to emerging innovations, including AI, would survive and
prosper by further specialization, delivering advisory services, and helping clients
incorporate the AI technology, rather than relying solely on financial data
calculations (Ovaska-Few, 2017). Training and in some cases, retraining will be
required. The construction costs must be prepared to be picked up by organizations.
Overall, in the accounting and financial industry, the implementation of
Artificial Intelligence is motivated by demand factors such as requirements of
financial regulation, competition with other firms, and profitability and supply
factors such as access to the infrastructure and the data sector and technical
advances. Several breakthroughs in finance are being made in the process of
Artificial Intelligence, including the development of software that can disrupt the
industry. Therefore, the premise is that AI can not only partially or completely
replace human resources, it can also boost efficiency beyond the thresholds of
humans. The effect of this growth on accounting and financial stability must be
taken into account in determining better results.
