Accounting in emerging technologies era: where do we stand and which roadmap for future research?

MAY 2012 PLACEMENT ADS

I n 2008, the Research and Publications Committee of the Information Systems Section of the American Accounting Association decided to sponsor a special issue of the Journal of Information Systems (JIS) entitled ‘‘Reviews of Information Systems Research.’’ The objective of the special issue is to ‘‘publish papers that review a stream of research in information systems (IS) broadly defined.’’ The Committee intended that submissions would review and integrate the IS (information systems) and AIS (accounting information systems) literatures and suggest future research directions in both disciplines. The special issue followed a previous valiant and groundbreaking effort in IS/AIS research integration for the IS section by Professors Vicky Arnold and Steve Sutton (Arnold and Sutton 2002). As editor of this special issue, I took a somewhat different approach to the task than is normal. First, rather than a regular call for papers, I requested researchers to submit extended abstracts. The objectives of this approach were to ensure that the scope of the proposed article was concomitant with the objective of the special issue and to identify any potential overlaps in subject matter. In this process, I was able to negotiate the amalgamation of several writing teams. I also ensured that where there was commonality in subject matter, the writing teams were introduced to each other and worked to manage the writing process. Second, I had clear views on how the papers should be structured. As an author of one of the chapters in the earlier monograph for the IS section, I was impressed with the systematic approach Dr. Arnold took to ensuring a common approach in the structure of the contributions and the discipline exercised in ensuring that the goals of the monograph were achieved. It is simpler to achieve a common approach in a monograph than it is in separate papers in JIS. My ambition was, then, to strongly suggest directions to authors but not to mandate a single approach. As a consumer of many literature reviews, I realize how easy it is to maroon readers in a Sargasso Sea, not knowing how to navigate their way. Readers need clear navigational markers and a sense of direction. Third, I saw the review process as a mutual exercise among writing teams, reviewers, and myself as editor. Given the scope of this exercise, I deliberately took a more active editorial role than is normal. These objectives probably added somewhat to the time taken for publication but did, I believe, improve the quality of the papers.

Revolution of information technology has changed many aspects of accounting practices, which resulted in greater demand for accountants with sufficient information technology (IT) knowledge and skills. Importantly, these changes have provided new and exciting research opportunities for accounting information system (AIS) researchers. This paper aims to address issues relating to both AIS education and research. It also attempts to provide guidance to AIS curriculum design and direction for AIS research. In terms of AIS education, this paper reveals that accounting programmes worldwide have not sufficiently integrated IT knowledge and skills into the curriculum, thus resulting in the inability to produce graduates that meet the current needs of businesses. In terms of research, the paper starts with a discussion on issues relating to definition, scope and category of AIS research. In general, while IT revolution has offered various research opportunities, AIS research has provided very limited contribution to accounting or information system research and practice. Towards this purpose, this paper provides several suggestions to researchers. First, AIS researchers need to view AIS in a broader perspective where the impact of technology on all areas of accounting, auditing, and taxation should be considered within the realm of AIS interest. Second, AIS researchers have to specialise in at least one other accounting area such as financial reporting, managerial accounting, audit or taxation, in addition to AIS domain, to produce high-quality research results. Finally, it is hoped that discussions brought forward by this paper would initiate and encourage debate among accounting professionals and academics and, in particular AIS lecturers, in order to strengthen current AIS curriculum to produce high-quality AIS research that can have a notable impact on the accounting profession and business practice.

Photo by Josh Riemer on Unsplash&#x0D; Introduction&#x0D; With the rapid advancements in neurotechnological machinery and improved analytical insights from machine learning in neuroscience, the availability of big brain data has increased tremendously. Neurological health research is done using digitized brain data.[1] There must be adequate data governance to secure the privacy of subjects participating in brain research and treatments. If not properly regulated, the research methods could lead to significant breaches of the subject’s autonomy and privacy. This paper will address the necessity for neuroprotection laws, which effectively govern the use of big brain data to ensure respect for patient privacy and autonomy.&#x0D; Background&#x0D; Artificial intelligence and machine learning can be integrated with neuroscience big brain data to drive research studies. This integrative technology allows patterns of electrical activity in neurons to be studied in detail.[2]Specifically, it uses a robotic system which can reason, plan, and exhibit biologically intelligent behavior. Machine learning is a method of computer programming where the code can adapt its behavior based on big brain data.[3] The big brain data is the collection of large amounts of information for the purpose of deciphering patterns through computer analysis using machine learning.[4] The information that these technologies provide is extensive enough to allow a researcher to read a patient’s mind. AI and machine learning technologies work by finding the underlying structure of brain data, which is then described by patterns known as latent factors, eventually resulting in an understanding of the brain’s temporal dynamics.[5]&#x0D; Through these technologies, researchers are able to decipher how the human brain computes its performances and thoughts. However, due to the extensive and complex nature of the data processed through AI and machine learning, researchers may gain access to personal information a patient may not wish to reveal. From a bioethical lens, tensions arise in the realm of patient autonomy. Patients are not able to control the transmission of data from their brains that is analyzed by researchers. Governing brain data through laws may enhance the extent of patient privacy in the case where brain data is being used through AI technologies.[6] A responsible approach to governing brain data would require a sophisticated legal structure.&#x0D; Analysis&#x0D; Impact on Patient Autonomy and Privacy &#x0D; In research pertaining to big brain data, the consent forms do not fully cover the vast amounts of information that is collected. According to research, personal data has become the most sought out commodity to provide content to corporations and the web-based service industry. Unfortunately, data leaks that release private information frequently occur.[7] The storage of an individual’s data on technologies accessible on the internet during research studies makes it vulnerable to leaks, jeopardizing an individual’s privacy. These data leaks may cause the patient to be identified easily, as the degree of information provided by AI technologies are personalized and may be decoded through brain fingerprinting methods.[8]&#x0D; There has been an extensive growth in the development and use of AI. It is efficient in providing information to radiologists who diagnose various diseases including brain cancer and psychiatric disease, and AI assists in the delivery of telemedicine.[9] However, the ethical pitfall of reduced patient autonomy must be addressed by analyzing current AI technologies and creating more options for patient preference in how the data may be used. For instance, facial recognition technology[10] commonly used in health care produces more information than listed in common consent forms, threatening to undermine informed consent. Facial recognition software collects extensive data and may disclose more information than a person would prefer to provide despite being a useful tool for diagnosing medical and genetic conditions.[11] In addition, people may not be aware that their images are being used to generate more clinical data for other purposes. It is difficult to guarantee the data is anonymized. Consent requirements must include informing people about the complexity of the potential uses of the data; software developers should maximize patient privacy.[12] Furthermore, there is a “human element” in the use of AI technologies as medical providers control the use and the extent to which data is captured or accessed through the AI technologies.[13] People must understand the scope of the technology and have clear communication with the physician or health care provider about how the medical information will be used. &#x0D; Existing Laws for Brain Data Governance &#x0D; A strict system of defined legal responsibilities of medical providers will ensure a higher degree of patient privacy and autonomy when AI technologies and data from machine learning are used. Governing specific algorithmic data is crucial in safeguarding a patient’s privacy and developing a gold standard treatment protocol following the procurement of the information.[14] Certain AI technologies provide more data than others, and legal boundaries should be established to ensure strong performance, quality control, and scope for patient privacy and autonomy. For instance, currently AI technologies are being used in the realm of intensive neurological care. However, there is a significant level of patient uncertainty about how much control patients have over the data’s uses.[15] Calibrated legal and ethical standards will allow important brain data to be securely governed and monitored.&#x0D; Once brain signals are recorded and processed from one individual, the data may be merged with other data in Brain Computer Interface Technology (BCI).[16] To ensure a right and ability to retrieve personal data or pull it from the collection, specific regulations for varying types of data are needed.[17] The importance of consent and patient privacy must be considered through giving patients a transparent view of how brain data is governed.[18] The legal system must address discriminatory issues and risks to patients whose data is used in studies. Laws like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Protection Act (CCPA) can serve as effective models to protect aggregated data. These laws govern consumer information and ensure the compliance when personal data is collected.[19] California voters recently approved expansion of the CCPA to health data. The Washington Privacy Act, which would have provided rights to access, change, and withdraw personal data, failed to pass. Other states should improve privacy as well,[20] although a federal bill would be preferable. Scientists at the Heidelberg Academy of Sciences argue for data security to be governed in a manner that balances patient privacy and autonomy with the commercial interests of researchers.[21] The balance could be achieved through privacy protections like those in the Washington Privacy Act. Although the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) provides an overall framework to deter the likelihood of dangers to patient protection and privacy, more thorough laws are warranted to combat pervasive data transfer and analysis that technology has brought to the health care industry.[22] Breaches of patient privacy under current HIPAA regulations include releasing patient information to a reporter without their consent and sending HIV data to a patient’s employer without consent.[23] HIPAA does not cover information being shared with outside contractors who do not have an agreement with technology companies to keep patient data confidential. HIPAA regulations also do not always address blatant breaches on patient data confidentiality.[24] Patients must be provided with methods to monitor the data being analyzed to be able to view the extent of private information being generated via AI technologies. In health research, the medical purposes of better diagnosis, earlier detection of diseases, or prevention are ethical justifications for the use of the data if it was collected with permission, the person understood and approved the uses of the data, and the data was deidentified.&#x0D; A standard governance framework is required in providing the fairest system of care to patients who allow their brain data to be examined. Informed consent in the neuroscience field could reaffirm the privacy and autonomy of patients by ensuring that they understand the type of information collected. Laws also could protect data after a patient’s death. Malpractice in the scope of brain data could give people a cause of action critical in safeguarding patient’s rights. Data breach lawsuits will become common but generally do not cover deidentified data that becomes part of big data collection. A more synchronized approach to the collection and consent process will encourage an understanding of how big data is used to diagnose and treat patients. Some altruistic people may even be more likely to consent if they know the largescale data collection is helpful to treat and diagnose people. Others should have the ability to opt out of sharing neurological data, especially when there is not certainty surrounding deidentification.[25]&#x0D; Conclusion&#x0D; Artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies have the potential to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of people globally by extracting and aggregating brain data specific to individuals. However, the secure use of the data is necessary to build trust between care providers and patients, as well as in balancing the bioethical principles of beneficence and patient autonomy. We must ensure the highest quality of care to patients, while protecting their privacy, informed consent, and clinical trust. More sophis

This expresses the feeling of inadequacy of doing justice to the life and career of Charles Thomas Horngren. Chuck, the son of William and Grace Horngren, was born on October 28, 1926, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. His father worked for over 40 years as a railway mail clerk on the Milwaukee Road. His father was an avid baseball fan, a passion he passed on to his son. Chuck often reminisced about his dad taking him to the baseball games and meeting many of the day’s baseball luminaries. He also had a collection of baseball memorabilia, including Yogi Berra’s autograph in his book, Yogi: It Ain’t Over. . . , co-written by Chuck’s close friend, Tom Horton. Chuck graduated from Washington High School in 1944 and joined the Army. The Army sent him to pre-engineering classes at Ripon College and to engineering classes at what is today known as Texas A&M University. After over two years in the Army, Chuck enrolled at Marquette University and was elected to Beta Alpha Psi. While at Marquette he gained an appreciation for teaching after tutoring basketball players and disabled veterans. He graduated from Marquette as valedictorian in 1949 and remained very loyal to Marquette throughout his life. Upon graduation, he joined Peat, Marwick, Mitchell & Co. (now part of KPMG) as a staff auditor. A year later, he taught full time at Spencerian College, a commercial business college,

Countries’ audit institutions play a critical role in financial management and accountability. These institutions perform tasks such as financial accountability, detection of corruption and errors, evaluation of government performance, accountable public administration, transparency and legal oversight, and prevention of legal violations, contributing to public trust. The Court of Accounts Presidency is the supreme audit institution of the Republic of Türkiye. This study sequentially addresses the audit process and procedure of the Court of Accounts, the impact of digitization, information technologies, and artificial intelligence on the audit process. Additionally, an evaluation of the institution’s technology and information infrastructure is conducted. A detailed assessment is presented regarding the Court of Accounts’ use of the Court of Accounts Data Analysis System (VERA), Unified Data Transfer System (BVAS), and Audit Management Program (SayCap). The institution’s technology and information infrastructure related to big data and big data analytics are evaluated based on the institution’s reports and documents. Finally, evaluating the potential integration of artificial intelligence into these systems is considered highly beneficial. For human resources in the field to be more proficient in current technologies, implementing artificial intelligence, big data, and big data analytics in the audit domain of public institutions is seen as highly advantageous. Additionally, it is strongly recommended that educational institutions training audit professionals incorporate courses on data analytics, big data, big data analytics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence into their curricula.

Accounting Information Systems automates accounting information. In prior literature, there is no consensus as to research areas to be included or excluded from AIS researches, coupled with the relatively scarce literature on AIS. The objective of this paper was to quantitatively analyze the volume and impact of AIS literature. Research documents retrieved from the Scopus database were based on defined search terms relating to Accounting Information System (AIS). A bibliometric approach was employed to quantitatively analyze the volume and impact of 727 publications in the AIS research domain, this study focussed on determining the yearly distribution, national contributions, authorship patterns, leading prolific authors, productive institutions, publication outlets, documents types, key issues, citation trends of AIS research publication from 1975-2017. Key findings in this work indicated that there was no steady growth in volume of AIS research publication, Malaysia was the only developing country that featured as one of the top 10 national contributors to AIS research with China and Indonesia being the only emerging economies, also only 159 authors contribute to the 727 publications on AIS research, double authored publications had the highest number of publication as against others, only 5 of the top 10 outlets of AIS research were core accounting outlets, asides the obvious keywords of ‘accounting information system’, ‘information system’ keywords such as Internal Controls, Auditing, Regulatory Compliance, Management Control were the most dominant. While AIS adoption is becoming the mainstream in most developed countries, more investments in ICTs deployment and education will enable developing countries to reap the benefits of these innovations. Key words: Accounting information system, AIS, bibliometrics, scientometrics, citation analysis

The first industrial revolution led to mechanical production and steam power; the second, mass production and electrical power; and the third, electronics and computers. Today, as most sectors of the world move forward into the fourth industrial revolution, one centered around data and artificial intelligence (AI), biomedicine finds itself still in the third, lagging behind the rest [1]. Only recently, the exponential growth of technology has facilitated the widespread integration of computers into the biomedical domain from electronization of medical data analysis to automated detection of biomedical images [2–3]. Rather than merely automating time-consuming processes within healthcare, AI stands to reduce medical errors, expand upon the relationships between basic science and clinical medicine, and improve our analysis of existing datasets too large and complex for traditional statistics [3]. Despite these potential benefits, many biomedical facilities are hesitant to incorporate such systems into their practices due to the liability associated with AI making decisions that impact the health of patients [4], such as misdiagnosis (see Rule 8). Additionally, there exists a computational “black box,” a phenomenon describing the difficulty of understanding how AI algorithms arrive at a particular result (see Rule 3). Without a clear means of understanding how these machines generate their output, biomedical facilities are often skeptical of incorporating these “black boxes” into their work practices. As such, the “explainability” issue is an important barrier to overcome before applying these powerful technologies in biomedicine [5]. The lack of understanding around AI and the tantalizing benefits of this new wave of technology suggest the need for professionals in biomedical fields to acquire a basic understanding of AI and its medical applications in order to understand its clinical utility and engage with cutting-edge research. As such, there is a clear need for literature that explains AI in a way that is digestible to professionals in other fields [5]. Without a fundamental understanding of data science models and AI methods, modern biomedical experts who are not well versed in these fundamentals may be intimidated. Introduction to the basics of AI, such as big data analysis, data mining, machine and deep learning, and computer vision, would allow for the expansion of innovative designs in biomedicine. The importance of biomedical involvement in emerging technology is highlighted in the flaws of contemporary electronic medical records (EMR) that are widely used across the healthcare system. The ideal AI adaptation of EMR would be able to facilitate patient care through a variety of features like tracking changes in medical history of a patient and alerting caretakers of concerning health patterns; however, with the current state of EMR, tasks as simple as sharing medical records between healthcare facilities are burdensome. Though it has many virtues, most biomedical professionals agree that the current implementation of EMR is less than ideal, in part because it was developed and implemented with minimal consideration for the flow of information in the biomedical field [6]. The current weaknesses of EMR should serve as a warning, illustrating the importance of biomedical involvement in the deployment of new technologies. When these advancements inevitably make it to the forefront of clinical medicine, biomedical professionals should feel like they are in the driver’s seat rather than helpless passengers along for the ride. We propose the following rules to allow biomedical professionals to attain some measure of control and strap down their panic at the sight of words such as “algorithms,” “AI,” “machine learning” and the like. Rule 1: Don’t panic Computation-based technologies are ubiquitous in our lives, touching almost every facet of our day-to-day interactions. Nevertheless, the vast majority of us do not understand how these systems operate, let alone how to troubleshoot them when problems become apparent. Quickly overwhelmed and frustrated by error messages, constant update reminders, and pop-up advertisements, many of us have an adverse reaction to the increased incorporation of technology into our daily lives. As healthcare begins to adopt a new language unfamiliar to most people, there will be pushback. When there are words that we do not understand, such as “machine learning,” our immediate response is to experience an internal error message and shut down. While it is only natural to have an uneasy and uncomfortable feeling when approaching anything unfamiliar, this sensation can be debilitating and prevent the exploration of the unknown. Now is the time to resist the urge to fall back into something comfortable and learn how to embrace that feeling to allow yourself to grow from new experiences. It should be reassuring that, although many of the terms used in AI seem exotic, they are often deviations on reasonably simple statistical concepts that many biomedical professionals already understand. For example, “a multivariate predictive model using three knots of nonlinearity for continuous values” is fundamentally a linear regression model with some extra bells and whistles. “Deep learning” is a specific method to train neural networks, which are based upon different layers of computational “neurons” that recognize patterns (see Rule 3), much like neurons in the brain firing in response to specific visual inputs [7]. In learning about these new techniques, biomedical professionals will find that they are already familiar with many of the underlying algorithms. Your preexisting knowledge of statistics will serve as the foundation for your understanding of AI, because AI builds on statistics. Both statistics and AI manipulate data with similar algorithms and differ only in the purpose—inference versus prediction, respectively.
