Artificiell intelligens inom löpande redovisning – En kvalitativ studie om redovisningsekonomernas erfarenheter av att arbeta med AI- teknik

Artificiell intelligens (AI) är ett verktyg som etablerar sig alltmer inom arbetet med löpande redovisning. Det är en ny revolution som ska komma och sätta nya krav på ekonomer och deras yrkesroll. Denna studie syftar till att undersöka hur AI används inom löpande redovisning, samt förklara vilka möjligheter respektive hinder redovisningsekonomen upplever med användandet. Studien lyfter fram ekonomernas verkliga intryck och erfarenheter av att arbeta med AI- verktyg. Vi studerar och fördjupar oss i teorierna Diffusion of innovation, Technology acceptance model och Actor- network theory. Teorierna skapar en förståelse för vilka faktorer och egenskaper som påverkar hur en individ bedömer och tar till sig ny teknologi. Genom en deduktiv ansats konstruerades ett operationaliseringsschema följt av en intervjuguide. Studiens empiriska material har samlats in genom kvalitativa semistrukturerade intervjuer med 12 stycken ekonomer som samtliga arbetar med AI inom löpande redovisning. Resultaten från intervjuerna visar att ekonomerna använder AI i deras yrkesroll i form av en tolkningsrobot som läser av underlag och därefter automatiskt skapar ett konteringsförslag som användaren godkänner. Verktyget möjliggör att redovisningsarbetet kan effektiviseras vilket resulterar i ett mer värdeskapande arbete för kunden. Resultatet visar även att AI inte är helt felfritt, samt att brist på kunskap kring AI- teknik kan utgöra ett hinder för användandet.

Abstract [en]

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a tool that is increasingly being used within the work of routine accounting. It is a revolutionary technology that has begun to place new demands on accountants and will continue to do so in the foreseeable future, thus redefining this professional role. The present study aims to investigate how AI is used in financial accounting, as well as to explain what opportunities and obstacles accountants experience with the use of this new technology. The study highlights financial accountants' real impressions and experiences of working with AI tools. Three theories – Diffusion of innovation, Technology acceptance model and Actor-network theory – are deployed to better understand the factors and characteristics that influence how individual accountants assess and adopt new technology, such as these recently developed AI tools. Through a deductive approach, an operationalization scheme was constructed, followed by an interview guide. The empirical material for the study was collected through qualitative semi-structured interviews with 12 accountants who work with AI in current accounting. The results from the interviews show that the accountants interviewed use AI in their professional role in the form of an interpretation robot that reads documents and then automatically creates an accounting proposal that the user approves. The tool enables financial accounting work to be made more efficient, thus creating added value for the customer. The results also show that AI is not completely error-free and that a lack of knowledge about AI technology can be an obstacle to the use thereof.
