Abstract

The accounting and finance industries have been increasingly adopting new technologies in recent years. In this exploratory study, we examine the degree of technology awareness in the accounting and finance industries over the past ten years. By identifying all the twitter accounts of the top 100 accounting firms and top 100 finance institutions and examining how they have discussed about technologies. We are able to conduct a series of analyses to help the audience gain a better understanding of the patterns and changes of technology awareness in the accounting and finance industries.
