in Accounting and Auditing. A semi-systematic or narrative review approach
was employed in analyzing relevant published books and journals. Faced with

sis in order to reach the next level. Interdisciplinary collaboration is a must

diting. Wider application of AI in accounting and auditing profession is ex-
pected to provide the benefits of greater efficiency, productivity and accuracy
whereas burden with the challenges of income and wealth inequality, extinc-
tion of traditional jobs and unskilled workforce. Preparation is needed on the
part of educators, regulators and professional bodies by addressing the para-
digm shift and preparing the students, policies and future professionals for
the challenges of the world that is fraught with big data, blockchain technol-
ogy, artificial intelligence and so on, ushering the fourth industrial revolution.

bring change in the form of formulating revolutionary policies. Also, profes-
sional bodies must redesign professional development and training process.

diting profession can be viewed as a double-edged sword. What transpires is
subject to changes over time but this much is absolute that the profession of
accounting and auditing as we know and have known is going to drastically
