Accounting Blueprint For E Era

Core tip: boosting Economics In the process of rapid social development, accounting will inevitably encounter. information Turn the corner.
What will be left in the future factory? One person, one automated production line! Although the prophecy of Henry Munzberg, a management guru, seems to be a myth today, it is undeniable that information technology has ignited the worldwide information revolution with its unique creativity.

In the process of boosting the rapid development of the economy and society, accountants will inevitably encounter "information".

Future accounting What is the industry like? In February 23rd, the first plenary session of the China Association of Certified Public Accountants (CPA) industry information committee was held, which marked the full start of the CPA industry informatization strategy.

In order to implement the strategy of national informatization development in the past 2006-2020 years, the general office of the State Council transmitted the opinions of the Ministry of Finance on accelerating the development of China's registered accountants industry and the spirit of the five generation conference of the CPA.

"This is a symbolic meeting of China's accounting industry to seize the commanding heights and integrate with the international market." Wang Jun, Vice Minister of finance, stressed the importance of the conference and depicted a wonderful vision of the accounting profession in the E era.

Data mining to be excavated

In the heart of Wang Jun, Vice Minister of finance, there is such a dream: in the future, the CPA should have its own "industry index" to reflect the characteristics and rules of economic operation and provide value-added services for national macroeconomic decisions.

Just as the index of CPI (consumer price index) and PMI (purchasing managers' index of China's manufacturing industry), issued by the National Bureau of statistics and China logistics and purchasing Federation, the accounting profession also yearn for its own "industry index" to be included in the index system of macroeconomic indicators.

Such a dream is not out of reach. One firm holds data from hundreds of large enterprises, and more than 7800 Chinese firms are sitting on a forgotten giant gold mine.

In the new era of data economy, who will master the real and operational data resources on a large scale will have the right to dominate and speak.

"CPA industry has strong data to support, if we collect data from customers, form a huge database, and then through intelligent means of analysis and comparison, we will dig out valuable information from the data to the industry, the economy and even the whole society." Wang Jun said.

Wang Jun has a higher expectation of the value of data integration and reuse: with valuable data and information, enhance the gold content of the CPA's speech and the social status of the accounting profession.

Inspiration from electronic medical records

The electronic medical record originating in the United States covers the whole process from birth to death from the time span, covering the diagnosis and medication of each doctor.

Similar to the whole process of tracking and recording electronic medical records, CPA has established a set of accounting information integrity monitoring system to carry out "comprehensive records, real-time monitoring, effective disclosure", to achieve full, dynamic and real-time records, tracking and supervision of certified public accountants and accounting firms, so as to meet the needs of industry management and services.

"If all audit information and consulting materials of each firm are analyzed and collected according to certain formats and standards, then the China Association of certified public accountants will be able to go online to spot checks and practice at any time and place. The history of the accounting industry every day is well documented.

Of course, the disclosure of these data is authorized and should be done according to the law. " Wang Jun said that the industry management information system of the China Association of Certified Public Accountant (CPAs) has the same features as the electronic medical record.

A patient's video and text record in Tongren Hospital can be transferred to other hospitals in real time without repeated examination. Compared with traditional medical records, another advantage of electronic medical records is that it is convenient and timely to update. CAS hopes to collect information from practicing members, non practising members and firms in a complete, accurate and timely manner, and disclose and update them in a timely manner. This will play a very important role in strengthening industry management.

In addition, the network, instant messaging, e-mail and other systems will promote the exchange of information between the local associations, associations and offices, so as to improve efficiency.

The office is getting more and more e.

A young CPA suddenly encountered a professional problem when he completed an audit project alone. He hurried out of his cell phone and sent a distress signal to the company's "think tank" in a timely manner. After 3 minutes, he got the best solution to the problem.

Last year, Lixin Accounting firm established a centralized "knowledge warehouse" to share and use the industry experience and past research results inside the firm. At the same time, an online learning platform is established to realize the sharing of project experience and expertise among different professional service teams.

Knowledge management system is only part of Li Xin business management system engineering. The project also includes a complete set of software systems such as customer relationship and project management, financial management, risk management, auditing software and so on.

An Apple phone, which is popular among young people, has tens of thousands of software systems. Similarly, the development and management of future accounting firms can not be separated from a strong information system.

"Accounting firms should change from human brain management to conference management to networking and information management." As Chen Yugui, Secretary General of the China Association of certified public accountants, said, the information technology of the firm is a long, arduous and worthy way to look forward to. Chen Yugui said that we should concentrate our minds and conduct research in various fields to strive for breakthroughs in the year of the start of the information strategy in the industry.

In the era of E, after a young and dynamic information wing has been planted in the ancient and heavy accounting industry, a wonderful blueprint for the industry is slowly opening to us.
