Those whoparticipated in the pilot study were not included in the actual datacollection. Data collection was conducted through online survey which wasdistributed through online platforms. Data was coded, cleaned and analyzedusing micros soft excel. To analyze the data, means, standard deviations andpercentages were used. Results were presented using figures and tables. Thefindings revealed that emerging technologies offer significant potential toimprove the accounting process, by faster data analysis, enhanced datasecurity, and increased accuracy. However, the adoption of these technologiesis not without challenges, such as concerns around data privacy and security,as well as the cost and complexity of implementation. The study also highlightsthe need for accounting firms to develop a clear strategy for technologyadoption, including identifying the appropriate technologies for their specificneeds and investing in appropriate training for staff. Furthermore, thefindings suggest that there is a need for standardization in the adoption ofemerging technologies across the industry to ensure consistent and effectiveuse. Overall, this thesis provides valuable insights into the impact ofemerging technologies on accounting firms, highlighting the potential benefitsand challenges of their adoption.
