Abstract
: The research investigates the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on traditional accounting methods and financial analytical tools through a qualitative research method. Accounting professionals including financial analysts and AI experts shared their knowledge about AI technology by taking part in semi-structured interviews which studied its effects on automation accuracy and decision-making processes. The case studies of companies that used AI tools helped to establish their authentic applications and the obstacles they faced. The results demonstrate how AI technology helps to decrease repetitive work while it increases the fairness and precision of financial reports and enhances the useful and timely nature of decision-making processes. The process of using AI-based tools created several major obstacles which required people to develop new competencies and handle ethical issues related to data privacy and visibility. Accounting professionals recognize a major trend that moves their field towards advisory services while reducing its focus on traditional accounting methods. The study demonstrates how professionals need to continue their development and follow ethical standards to handle AI system integration in a responsible manner. The financial sector requires organizations to handle their AI system implementation process with responsible management practices which will protect fairness and responsibility while securing financial data.
