From digitisation to digital transformation

This research undertaken by a team from Essec Business School investigated the work, challenges and roles of French and German management accountants in the digital age. It found that management accountants are strongly engaged in the digitisation of their companies. They also play an important role in the digital transformation through their involvement in data quality, IT system harmonisation, fostering efficiency in budgeting processes and the implementation of self-service reporting tools for managerial decision-making.
