Contabilidade obsoleta?

A tecnologia irá tornar a contabilidade obsoleta - como um campo de estudo independente? Faz sentido ter um departamento de contabilidade? Como isto deve afetar o currículo? São discussões interessantes. Uma posição favorável encontra-se a seguir:

Accounting — at least as an independent field of study — is becoming obsolete in today’s technology- and analytics-focused world. Its value lies in its interdisciplinary applicability and position as a foundational business curriculum. In recognition of that reality — and to maintain a pipeline of candidates open to CPA licensure, increase the number of engaged accounting students, and keep the profession relevant to the next generation — this author believes that colleges and universities should eliminate the accounting department as a stand-alone department and reorganize accounting under finance and information systems departments.
