“…In order to assess the possibility for automation of accounting tasks and processes, it is needed to distinguish routine tasks that can easily be automated and nonroutine tasks that are difficult to be conducted by machines or software. Oschinski et al (2017) highlighted that jobs and tasks that require critical thinking, high-level creativity and training as well as human contact will not be automated soon. However, routine tasks which do not require high level of education and training and that require a little human communication can be easily automated (Kim et al, 2017).…”

So 47% of jobs in the US, 59% in Germany, and 1.7% in Canada are replaced by machines with technological advances [24,25]. e reason for the large difference in substitution rates among the three countries may be because the statistical calibers are inconsistent.…”
