Abstract

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.
