CalCPA presents: Bring It On - CPA Careers

CPA's use a great deal of educated professional judgement that computers can not comprehend. Computers understand only the input given to them. CPAs>computers

Kumar,

I say no. There is an analytical part to being an accountant that computers simply cannot replace. "Judgment" has yet to be simulated and I can't imagine a point when it would be...

Will computers replace Accountants in 10-15 years? why or why not.

Computers will replace EVERY occupation in 10-15 years. Check out the musings of a guy named Marshall Brain "Robotic Nation."

EVERY occupation... INCLUDING computer programming. Scary? Only scary if we don't make some adjustments.

I'm doing my CPA,
I do prefer CFA

I liked this video.

Thank You

At my 90 day review, my current boss just told me how incompatible accounting was with my personality. He said that instead of pursuing my CPA, I should be pursuing an MBA. I said to him, "What is a better way to learn about business? By studying sensitive financial data that will show you exactly how and why a real world company is profitable...or spend two years with a bunch of arrogant MBA's stroking their over-inflated egos?"
My boss is an MBA...and I still have my job.
