The impact of digital technologies on the transformation of the accounting system in Ukraine

Abstract

The article examines the impact of digital technologies on the transformation of accounting in Ukraine to enhance the transparency of financial reporting and the efficiency of accounting operations in line with international standards. The relevance of the study is driven by the digitalization of the economy and the need to adapt the national accounting system to modern requirements. The aim of the study is to identify the main directions of accounting digitalization and to develop recommendations for improving the efficiency of accounting processes, considering the specifics of Ukraine’s financial environment.

The research methodology is based on a systematic analysis of accounting digitalization trends, a comparative approach to assessing traditional and digital systems, and synthesis methods for developing practical recommendations. It has been established that the implementation of technologies such as cloud platforms, blockchain, and artificial intelligence facilitates the automation of data collection, processing, and storage, reducing the time for report generation and minimizing human error.

Key issues in implementing digital technologies have been identified, including high costs for implementation, insufficient readiness of the regulatory framework to meet modern challenges, and risks related to cybersecurity and the protection of confidential data. The importance of establishing internal regulations for monitoring accounting operations, conducting regular information security audits, and training specialists to improve their digital competencies has been substantiated. The research results confirm that the introduction of multi-level control systems and automated monitoring allows the timely detection of anomalies in financial flows and reduces the risks of financial fraud.

The conclusions emphasize that the gradual introduction of new technologies with pilot testing of solutions makes it possible to evaluate their effectiveness and identify directions for process adjustments. Prospects for further research include the development of adaptive management models for digital accounting systems, considering the national specifics of the financial environment and international practices.
