Industrial Revolution 4.0 has arrived, is the Accounting industry still HOT?
- Dr. Le The Anh, the 4.0 industrial revolution is having a strong impact on many professions, including accounting. So, under the impact of the 4th revolution, is accounting still a HOT training major?
Accounting is a profession that exists in parallel with the existence of the economy. Therefore, the demand for human resources in the accounting industry will never be "saturated". According to the survey results, the rate of accounting graduates finding jobs is always at the top. With the spirit of the national startup movement, in the coming time, many businesses will be established, so the demand for human resources in general and accounting human resources in particular will increase. This shows that the accounting industry has never been out of HOT although this industry is not a new industry.

- Does the current accounting training situation in our country meet the human resource requirements in the 4.0 industrial era, sir?
The 4.0 technology revolution is taking place very strongly and has a direct impact on most fields and professions, including accounting. Accounting labor has shifted strongly between ASEAN countries and countries in the region. Therefore, the pressure to compete for high-quality labor is very large. In order to compete with the labor force of countries in the region, training institutions in our country have been researching and implementing many high-quality accounting training programs. These training programs not only provide human resources to meet the requirements of this innovation but can also export accounting labor to countries in the region.
- How should accounting training change to be suitable in the 4.0 era, sir?
Accounting training in the 4.0 era requires drastic changes in training programs, teaching methods, and testing and evaluation methods. For example, instead of teaching students to memorize, it is necessary to teach students the principles and principles to apply; instead of teaching students how to memorize each transaction, it is necessary to teach students how to apply technology to synthesize and analyze learning materials so that they can look up, apply, synthesize, and generalize learning content, thereby applying it to solve problems that arise in practice...
