Abstract: The goal of this study is to demonstrate the impact of the changing importance of technology skill under the
evolution of artificial intelligence on the job requirements for accountants. The analysis is based on data from
the Chinese employment market from 2012 to 2022 under different educational backgrounds. The research
objectives are achieved through multiple regression and relative importance analysis. The analysis indicates
that the changing importance of technology skills have significant effects on the job requirements of
accountants. Trends show that from 2012 to 2020, the relative importance of technology skills decreased.
However, this trend was reversed in 2020. Differences exist in both overall characteristics and trend features
for job seekers with different educational backgrounds. The research findings provide insights for
recommendations on how job seekers and educational institutions should take actions in the context of AI to
promote employment and personal development.
1 INTRODUCTION
In 2012, deep Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)
models achieved significant success in the ImageNet
Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge. In the
same year Microsoft and Google began employing
deep learning approaches to enhance their speech
recognition systems. In 2020, GPT-3 was launched
for commercial operations, and as a continuation of
GPT-3, OpenAI introduced ChatGPT in 2022. With
the rapid development of Artificial intelligence
(hereinafter referred to as AI), technology skills are
receiving increasing attention. For accountant
positions, technology skills primarily encompass
proficiency in accounting, ERP systems, financial
analysis, taxation, and word processing software
operations. Due to its profound impact, AI has
become a central theme in business education and
practice (Xue et al., 2020). The application of AI can
be found across various business functions
(Bejaković et al., 2020). However, existing research
lacks in-depth insights into the evolution of AI
technology and often overlooks differences in
educational backgrounds during the research process,
making it challenging to thoroughly examine the

impact of AI on job skills requirements. The
accounting industries serve as an example with high
levels of automation in business practices, where
computing technologies have replaced a significant
amount of human simple repetitive labour, giving rise
to demands for technology skills. It is generally
believed that repetitive labour is more prevalent in
accounting roles, making technology skills most
essential. Has the evolution of AI changed this
situation? How does the situation differ for job
seekers in the context of AI? These are intriguing and
worthy questions for in-depth exploration.
Therefore, we use the introduction of CNN in
2012 and GPT-3 in 2020 as demarcation points,
conducts an analysis of the impact of the evolution of
AI on the job skills requirements of accountants by
examining the changes in the relative importance of
technology skills. To showcase and analyse
developments in a specific scientific field, the paper
reviews relevant literature and constructs a research
framework based on critical analysis. The research
focuses on the evolution of concepts related to the
impact of AI on the job requirements of accountants.
This is detailed in the section 2 ('Literature Review').

After reviewing and presenting literature relevant
to the research theme, the section 3 ('Data and
Methods') introduces the details for creating task
importance variables (TI) and skill importance
variables (SI) used for the numerical evaluation of
relationships between the studied phenomena. The
basis for the presented measurable indices is online
recruitment data from the Sina Weibo platform
spanning from 2012 to 2022. The analysis of the
impact of SI on TI is achieved through panel
regression with random effects, and the analysis of
changes in the relative importance of job skills is
conducted through Relative Importance Analysis
(RI). The results are presented in the section 4
('Results'). Additionally, the research findings enable
the formulation of recommendations on how
accountant employees and educational institutions
can take action to adapt to the impact of AI, as
discussed in the section 5 ('Conclusion').
2 LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 AI in Accounting
As a burgeoning force the impact of AI on society has
long garnered widespread attention from researchers
(McAfee et al.,2016). As a crucial component of the
business community, the accounting profession has
also been impacted by AI. Chukwuani and Egiyi
(2020) studied the impact of AI on the accounting
industry, showcasing advancements in automating
accounting processes. Huang (2018) investigated the
application of AI in Chinese tax matters. Chukwudi
et al. (2018) demonstrated the positive impact of AI
on the functions of company accountants in the
southeastern region of Nigeria. Lee & Tajudeen
(2020), through research on the use of various AI-
based accounting software in Malaysian
organizations, found that AI adoption is not limited to
large organizations. They observed organizations
using AI-based accountant software to store invoice
images and fully automate the information capture
process. Luan et al. (2020) discussed the challenges
and directions of AI and big data in education
research, policymaking, and industry, including
accounting and auditing education, policy, and
industry. They argued that effective collaboration
among academia, decision-makers, and professionals
from various disciplines is necessary to fully realize
the potential progress of AI and big data in the face of
the innovations and challenges brought about by the
AI and big data revolution.
Regardless of the future disruptions that AI may
bring to this industry, accountants cannot be replaced
by AI in exercising human creativity and judgment
(Hasan, 2021). AI can help businesses achieve three
key objectives: automate business processes, gain
insights through data analytics, and connect with
consumers and employees. The marginal benefits and
costs of achieving these three goals are crucial
considerations for businesses applying AI (Kokina et
al., 2017).
While the significance of the above studies varies
due to different research perspectives, they provide
not only descriptive but also predictive insights,
offering stakeholders such as employers and schools
valuable insights for decision-making in the AI
revolution (Huang, 2018). Hindered by the
characteristics of early AI technologies, many small
and medium-sized enterprises were unable to afford
or develop customized and dispersed AI systems.
Cost factors and technology barriers limited the full
demonstration of AI potential in the accounting
industry. In June 2020, OpenAI launched the first
commercially available large-scale language model
product, GPT-3. By providing a large language model
interface, developers and users can obtain high-
quality feedback with only basic software skills.
However, researchers after 2020 have not fully
recognized the impact of this breakthrough in AI on
the marginal benefits and costs of the three key
objectives for businesses. Research perspectives
mostly remain confined to the pros and cons, leading
to conclusions that have not kept pace with
technology advancements.
2.2 Research Problem & Hypotheses
The impact of AI on the roles of accountants has been
widely discussed from a business competency
perspective. From a skills standpoint, the relationship
between AI and technology skills has garnered
particular attention. This skill set is built on the
foundation of computers replacing humans in tasks
with clear and repetitive rules, making it more crucial
for the accounts. The influence of AI on human social
skills is deemed to be less significant compared to
technology skills, as studies suggest that due to the
limitations of AI technologies, replacing social skills
is more challenging (Huang, 2018). However, social
skills can enhance communication efficiency across
various roles, allowing employees with higher social
skills to gain a competitive advantage through
information exchange (Deming, 2017). Whether the
evolution of AI technology has altered these
conclusions is a worthy topic for discussion.

The literature review allowed to determine the
following research hypotheses:
Hypothesis 1. The importance of technology skills
for accountants exhibits a fluctuating pattern.
Specifically, with the rise of deep learning in 2012,
the importance of technology skills increased initially
and then declined, until the emergence of GPT-3 in
2020, marking a renewed ascent in the importance of
technology skills.
Hypothesis 2. The importance of technology skills
fluctuates more among low-educated employees
compared to highly educated ones.
3 DATA AND METHODS
3.1 Data Preparation and Methods of
Calculation
This study utilizes data from recruitment
advertisements on Sina Weibo. The specific steps for
data acquisition and processing are as follows: Firstly,
a Python web crawler is employed to collect textual
content from online job advertisements for
accountants posted between 2012 and 2022. Texts
with lengths less than 50 characters or lacking city
data are filtered out. Subsequently, based on job task
information for accountant and financial advisor
positions from the O*NET database, a keyword
library for job tasks is generated. Additionally, a
keyword library for skill requirements is created
using skill requirement information from the O*NET
database. Next, a blank dataset is constructed with
fields named job task frequency, skill requirement
frequency, educational requirements for applicants,
and city of employment. Using natural language
processing programs, the frequency of job task
keywords is extracted from each job advertisement to
generate the dependent variable
Task
.
Skill
requirement keyword frequencies, educational
requirements, and city data are also obtained to create
the explanatory variables 𝑇𝑆
, 𝑆𝑆
, and the Controls.
The generated data is then inserted into the blank
dataset, resulting in a balanced panel dataset of online
recruitment for 42 cities from 2012 to 2022 to
estimate Equation 1.
3.2 Model and Variables
To test the hypotheses in the second part of the study,
we establish the following Equation 1:
Task

=𝛽
+𝛽
𝑇𝑆
+𝛽
𝑆𝑆
+𝛽
𝐶𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑟𝑜𝑙𝑠

+𝜀

where the dependent variable
Task

represents the
job tasks of accountants and financial advisors in
different companies across various years. The
explanatory variable gauge the technology skill
requirements of different companies, while 𝑆𝑆
measure the social skill requirements. Controls
include variables that may influence job task content,
and 𝜀

is the disturbance term.
3.3 Methodology
The first goal of the empirical analysis is to ascertain
the impact of changes in the importance of skills on
the job requirements for Chinese accountants from
2012 to 2022. The research process involves two
stages. First, we conduct Ordinary Least Squares
(OLS) tests to empirically examine the relationship
between the changes in technology skills and social
skills importance and job requirements. Second, we
employ Generalized Method of Moments (GMM)
with work experience dummy variables as
instruments to address potential endogeneity issues
(Ye et al., 2015).
The second goal of the empirical analysis is to
identify the relative changes in importance between
technology skills and social skills from 2012 to 2022.
To achieve this objective, we employ the Relative
Importance (RI) analysis method (Krasikova et al.,
2011). The fundamental idea of RI is to compare the
relative importance of different explanatory variables
after the model has been formed.
4 EMPIRICAL RESULTS
4.1 Ols Results
The OLS regression results are presented in Table 1.
It is shown that technology skills are significantly and
positively correlated with the job tasks of accountants,
with a substantial coefficient. Although social skills
also exhibit a significant positive correlation with the
tasks of accountants, the coefficient is smaller. This
suggests that, in the Chinese labour market from 2012
to 2022, relative to social skills, technology skills are
more critical for the tasks of accountants. Technology
skills have previously replaced manual skills, and
now they may face potential substitution by AI.

4.2 Relative Importance Analysis
In contrast to examining the impacts of different skills
on accountant’s tasks, our primary concern is the
relative importance of technology skills. This can be
achieved through the Relative Importance (RI)
analysis method.
RI primarily focuses on ranking predictor
variables according to their relative importance by
comparing the additional contribution of these
variables to the variance across all possible sub-
models. The additional contribution of a predictor
variable refers to the increase in explained variance
when that variable is added to a given sub-model. For
ease of analysis, we adopt the method by Krasikova to
standardize the reported RI values below (Krasikova
et al., 2011). Specifically, the RI for all variables is
consolidated into RI total. Subsequently, the ratio of
RI for each variable to RI total is calculated to obtain
standardized contributions. This standardization
advantageously ensures that the sum of the
standardized contributions for all explanatory
variables equals 1, facilitating a more straightforward
comparison of the relative importance of each variable
with others.

Importance (RI) analysis.

All 46% 54% 35% 65% 45% 55%
4.2.1 The Overall Characteristics of
Accountant Positions
Technology skills are relatively more important than
social skills for accountants, with a relative
importance of 54% for technology skills and 46% for
social skills. This overall characteristic is more
pronounced in high-education samples (65%)
compared to low-education samples (55%).
China's higher education system is divided into
undergraduate education and vocational education
through the National College Entrance Examination
(Gaokao). Those with higher Gaokao scores are
identified as having higher intellectual abilities and
enter the undergraduate education level (High
education), while those with lower scores enter the
vocational education level (Low education). It is
generally believed that undergraduate education
focuses more on theoretical learning, while
vocational education emphasizes skill development,
as skills learning is considered to have lower
difficulty compared to theoretical learning. However,
Table 2 reflects that with the evolution of AI
technology, employers set higher requirements for
technology skills for individuals with higher
educational qualifications.
4.2.2 Trend Characteristics of Accountant
Positions
The relative importance of technology skills
experienced a brief increase from 2012 to 2014, but it
steadily declined from 2014 onwards, while the
importance of social skills increased annually. This
trend reversed in 2020(Figure 1).
Figure 1: Comprehensive Evaluation of Relative
Importance.
One possible explanation is that as the automation
level of accountant tasks deepened, employers began
to place increasing emphasis on the technology skills
of accountants, with the rise of deep learning in 2012
The Changing Importance of Technology Skills for Accountants in the Context of Artificial Intelligence
955
intensifying this focus. However, as AI gradually
infiltrated software-assisted business processes in
accountant positions, the importance of technology
skills gradually diminished. In the process of
integrating AI tools with accountant tasks, employers
gradually realized that traditional accountant staff,
familiar with the nature and processes of the business,
were sufficient for making judgments, while the rest
could be delegated to AI. In a complex organizational
environment, employees with higher social skills
undoubtedly had a greater advantage in achieving the
goal of obtaining business information from other
departments (Deming, 2017). During this phase, AI
tools exhibited a decentralized characteristic.
The introduction of GPT-3 in commercial use in
2020 changed the decentralized nature of AI tools.
GPT-3, a powerful tool encompassing various
capabilities such as judgment, analysis, and
processing, rendered the importance of employees
being familiar with business gradually less significant.
However, using this powerful tool to meet
personalized demands requires a certain level of
technology skills, leading to an increase in the relative
importance of technology skills over social skills.
Furthermore, like the rise of deep learning in 2012,
the appearance of GPT-3 sparked another wave of
public enthusiasm for AI, inadvertently heightening
the importance that employers placed on technology
skills.
This trend feature is even more pronounced in the
low education sample compared to the high education
sample (Figure 2). If the impact of breakthrough
events in AI technology (the rise of deep learning and
the commercialization of GPT-3) heightened people's
attention to technology skills, the gradual decline in
the emphasis on technology skills reflects the actual
demand for technology skills in accounting. Thus, the
demand for highly educated talent in accountant
positions becomes more stable, while the demand for
lower-educated talent exhibits greater volatility.
Figure 2: Comparison of Relative Importance across varied
educational backgrounds.
4.3 Endogeneity Issues
There may be endogeneity issues between task
requirements and skill demands, such as changes in
job task requirements leading to changes in skill
requirements. Although the work content and task
requirements for accountants have seen minimal
long-term changes. To address this potential
endogeneity issue, we conducted Generalized
Method of Moments (GMM) tests on job
requirements and occupational skills.
We chose work experience dummy variables as
instrumental variables. Work experience dummy
variables are significantly correlated with skill
requirements, while the relationship between work
experience and job task requirements is less clear.
Employers have higher skill requirements for
experienced job seekers, but we cannot conclude that
employers will lower skill requirements due to a lack
of experience in job seekers. So, we consider work
experience dummy variables as fine instrumental
variables for skill requirements. The results of the
GMM regression are shown in Table 3. We find that
the results of the GMM tests are generally consistent
with the benchmark OLS tests.

4.4 Robustness Test
The focus of this paper is the relationship between
task requirements and skill demands. In practice,
there may be different measurement methods for skill
demands, leading to potential measurement errors.
This paper primarily defines technology skills and
social skills based on O*NET Online requirements,
while DEMING provides different definitions for
information usage skills and social skills. In
robustness tests, we combine DEMING (2017)'s
social skills and O*NET on line's social skills as a
new social skills variable and integrate DEMING
ICEIS 2025 - 27th International Conference on Enterprise Information Systems
956
(2017)'s information usage skills and O*NET on
line's technology skills as new technology skills
variables (Deming, 2017).
Table 4 reports the results of regressions using the
new variables. We employed both OLS and GMM,
and the results of the two tests are generally consistent.
These results are generally consistent with Table 1
and Table 3. The results of the Relative Importance
(RI) analysis using new variables are generally
consistent with the results in Table 2. These results
are not reported here to save space.

5 CONCLUSIONS
The theme of discussing the impact of AI on the
labour market is highly popular in the academic
community, inspiring researchers to explore more
research directions and contribute to the development
of this topic. The analysis of this research field
involves both quantitative and qualitative studies.
However, at both the theoretical and empirical levels,
the evolution of AI itself on the labour market has
been overlooked. Simultaneously, the impact of AI
has been exaggerated due to the neglect of different
educational backgrounds. The empirical evidence
obtained from the East Asian countries’ employment
market from 2012 to 2022 will help address these
shortcomings.
However, like any research, this study also has
certain limitations. One of them is the limited
availability of data. Despite obtaining online
recruitment data from Sina Weibo for the years 2012-
2022 through web scraping, many data points were
not acquired due to flaws in web scraping technology
and time limitations in Sina Weibo’s data storage.
Another limitation is the subjectivity of data cleaning
rules, resulting in the exclusion of valuable data from
the scope of the study.
The research findings indicate that the evolution of
AI has led to changes in the relative importance of
skills, affecting the task requirements for accounts.
Overall, technology skills are crucial for accounting
practitioners, especially for highly educated
employees.
From the trend perspective, the importance of
technology skills exhibits fluctuating characteristics,
rising with breakthroughs in AI and gradually falling
until another technological breakthrough occurs. This
feature is more pronounced among low-educated
employees, indicating that the evolution of AI
technology has a greater impact on them.
The findings of this study provide inspiration for
decision-making among relevant stakeholders.
Maintaining economic growth and promoting
employment are important economic goals for
policymakers. Encouraging the application of AI
across various industries can reduce business costs,
improve work efficiency, and thus contribute to
economic growth. However, for the highly automated
accounting industry, there is a potential conflict
between cost reduction and social responsibility that
policymakers should consider when formulating
policies. The impact of AI on employment, especially
for low-educated populations, poses a challenge for
policymakers. Common policies including skills
training tailored to low-educated populations can
solve short-term labour shortages during peak
industry demand, while it leads to the waste of human
resources during off-peak seasons. Furthermore, the
use of most AI tools does not require complex skills,
further reducing the necessity of skills training. The
policymakers could consider implementing flexible
policies to address the impact of AI on accountants.
For instance, establishing subsidies or incentive
programs tailored to various skill levels could support
the transition of lower-educated accountants amid
technological changes. Additionally, enhancing
technical training for lower-educated accountants and
encouraging collaboration between businesses and
educational institutions to provide practical skills
training can help mitigate employment disparities
caused by technological shifts.
As a highly digitized industry, continuously
updating technological skills often leaves accounting
practitioners, especially those with lower educational
backgrounds, in a state of anxiety. The typical
response is to participate in various technology skills
training programs. Meanwhile, training in skills that
appear unrelated to AI is often overlooked, yet these
may be precisely the skills that cannot be replaced by
AI. This study also found that employers have a more
stable demand for employees with higher academic
background, which may suggest that improving
academic qualifications is more important than skills
training for accounting practitioners. When adopting
The Changing Importance of Technology Skills for Accountants in the Context of Artificial Intelligence
957
AI, employers should carefully balance cost savings
with employee welfare, considering ways to enhance
efficiency through technology without entirely
relying on technology to replace human labour.
Employees should stay informed about industry
trends and actively pursue new skills and career
adjustments to navigate the challenges and
opportunities presented by AI.
The rise of deep learning and the emergence of
ChatGPT have increased people's attention to AI and
directly expanded society's demand for training in
technological skills. Employers are even willing to
hire low-educated employees who were previously
ignored to meet recruitment needs. However, if the
actual impact of AI on the accounting industry is
lower than expectation, employees with lower
academic background will be affected even more.
Thus, schools should update educational programs in
response to industry demands, emphasizing training
in non-technical skills such as critical thinking and
problem-solving, which are less susceptible to
automation.
