Abstract

This study addresses the pressing need to integrate cloud computing and artificial intelligence (AI) into Bangladesh’s tertiary accounting curriculum to keep up with modern information technology in a world where AI and cloud computing are increasing. Notwithstanding the rapid growth of Bangladesh’s economy and ICT sector, a substantial gap persists in incorporating AI and cloud computing into the accounting study curriculum. While these advances enhance efficiency, accessibility, flexibility, and economic viability, they face challenges related to safety, confidentiality, and insufficient investment in emerging technology. This article advocates for reforming the educational curriculum to incorporate emerging technology, hence fostering the development of future reskilled accounting professionals.
