Robotic
Process Automation (RPA) is revolutionizing the accounting landscape by
automating routine, rule-based tasks, thereby enhancing operational efficiency,
accuracy, and cost-effectiveness. This study explores the integration of RPA in
accounting operations, focusing on its perceived benefits and associated risks.
Using a mixed-method approach, primary data was collected from 110 accounting
professionals through structured questionnaires. The findings reveal that
67.27% of respondents believe RPA’s benefits outweigh its risks, citing improvements
in speed, accuracy, and reduced manual errors. However, concerns remain
regarding system integration challenges, employee resistance, and fear of job
displacement. The study also highlights a critical skill gap, with 58% of
respondents identifying lack of training as a key barrier to successful
implementation. Despite these challenges, the overall perception toward RPA
remains positive. The research concludes that while RPA offers transformative
potential for accounting operations, its success largely depends on strategic
implementation, robust training programs, and cultural readiness within
organizations.
