Shenandoah University School of Business Professor of Accounting Martin Mulyadi, Ph.D., and Assistant Professor of Accounting Yunita Anwar, Ph.D., recently published a collaborative article, “Taking Accountancy From Spreadsheets to AI,” as part of the Financial Times’ (FT) “Business School Cases” series, a leading international platform widely recognized for its influential voice in business and education.
This article, which blends a teaching case study with reflective commentary, explores how artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping the fields of accounting and auditing. It critically addresses AI’s potential to transform professional practice by automating routine tasks, enabling accountants to provide strategic insights, and ensuring rigorous ethical oversight. The article encourages educators, practitioners, and policymakers to engage actively in conversations about responsible and effective integration of AI in accounting practices.
“By contributing to the FT’s ‘Business School Cases’ series, SU gains significant visibility in global conversations surrounding educational innovation, professional ethics, and technological transformation, further positioning us as an active thought leader in meaningful industry dialogue,” Dr. Mulyadi said. “It underscores our community’s active participation in critical discussions about technology, ethics, and education, demonstrating how universities can positively shape the future of professional practice.”
