ULTIMATE ACCOUNTING CHALLENGE 5

NUSANTARA MULTIMEDIA UNIVERSITY

Today's technological advancements are increasingly rapid, causing human lifestyles that are increasingly attached to technology. This also gave birth to a new technological era, namely digital technology or what is often referred to as the era of disruption. Of course this development will have an impact in all areas of life, one of which is the field of accounting. For example, currently there are many software that can carry out several accounting activities such as financial bookkeeping and others. With these developments will arise various impacts, both positive and negative impacts. One of the negative impacts that can be caused is the reduced role of accountants in the accounting field and it is even feared that the role of accounting will be shifted by technology. Therefore, intellectual and professional skills or expertise are needed in dealing with this era.

Therefore, the Student Association of the Faculty of Economics, Multimedia Nusantara University held ATIC 5 (Accounting Ultimate Challenge). ATIC 5 is a university-level accounting competition held to test the skills and abilities of accounting students and create a healthy competition. The things that were tested included the participants' conceptual and technical accounting skills, and also tested the participants' knowledge about various economic issues that developed this year. The target of ATIC 5 activities is all student representatives from every university in Indonesia. It is hoped that this activity can produce resources that are ready to face problems in the accounting field in the future.
