Vivemos numa era de transformação e crescimento digital que causa impacto em diversas áreas como a contabilidade. Atualmente é praticamente impossível realizar operações contabilísticas sem o auxílio das tecnologias.
Nos últimos anos as empresas têm vindo a transformar a contabilidade tradicional numa contabilidade digital, o que implica uma transformação significativa nas competências exigidas aos contabilistas para desempenharem com sucesso as suas funções. Igualmente, a sustentabilidade é uma temática da atualidade e, por esse motivo, os contabilistas devem desenvolver competências voltadas para esta área de modo a se destacarem no mercado de trabalho.
O ensino é fortemente criticado por não desenvolver as competências necessárias para o desempenho das funções na área da contabilidade, o que faz com que os empregadores tenham uma perceção menos positiva sobre a preparação dos recém-licenciados.
Esta investigação tem como objetivo verificar se o profissional da contabilidade está a acompanhar a evolução do mercado de trabalho e, identificar as competências essenciais para o exercício da profissão na era digital. O profissional da contabilidade deve realizar um conjunto de ações formativas no sentido de lhe conferirem a adequação ao atual estado da profissão nesta era do digital.
Neste sentido, a abordagem metodológica utilizada é de natureza qualitativa e quantitativa, com a aplicação de um questionário a um público-alvo de estudantes e profissionais de contabilidade, assim como a análise de anúncios de ofertas de emprego e planos de estudo de licenciaturas e mestrados na área da contabilidade.
Os resultados obtidos permitem concluir que as tecnologias apresentam vantagens significativas para a profissão de contabilista possibilitando uma maior exatidão e acessibilidade à informação e maior eficiência operacional. No que concerne às competências, foi possível concluir que as competências técnicas continuam a ser fundamentais, no entanto as competências transversais têm sido um fator diferenciador para o exercício da profissão, assim como o desenvolvimento das competências digitais.
We live in an era of digital transformation and growth, which is having an impact on various areas such as accounting. Nowadays, it's practically impossible to carry out accounting operations without the help of technology. In recent years, companies have been transforming traditional accounting into digital accounting, which implies a significant transformation in the skills required of accountants to successfully perform their tasks. Sustainability is also a topical issue and, for this reason, accountants must develop skills in this area in order to stand out in the job market. Education is heavily criticized for failing to develop the skills needed to perform accounting duties, which leads employers to have a poor perception of the preparation of recent graduates. Therefore, this research aims to find out whether accounting professionals are keeping up with the evolution of the job market and to identify the essential skills for practicing the profession in the digital age. The accounting professional must carry out a series of training actions in order to adapt to the current state of the profession in this digital age. In this sense, the methodological approach used is qualitative and quantitative, with the application of a questionnaire aimed at accounting students and professionals, as well as the analysis of job advertisements and study plans for bachelor's and master's degrees in accounting. The results show that technology has significant benefits to the accounting profession, enabling greater accuracy and accessibility of information and greater operational efficiency. As far as skills are concerned, it was possible to conclude that technical skills are still fundamental, although transversal skills have been a differentiating factor for the profession, as has the development of digital skills.
