It is not like if we don\u2019t automate, others too won\u2019t. But it is like everyone will be bound to automate processes and tasks after a certain period of time. And let us all not forget that the pandemic of COVID-19 has taught us a lot in these terms that we all are now dependent on technology in all spheres of our life be it personal or professional meetings, work, collaboration, be it any task, activity or process, everything has now become online, on the cloud for us and gradually with the help of <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/terms\/a\/artificial-intelligence-ai.asp#:~:text=Artificial%20intelligence%20(AI)%20refers%20to,as%20learning%20and%20problem%2Dsolving.\" target=\"_blank\">artificial intelligence (AI)<\/a>, our tasks and processes will be automated soon, too.<br>There are various AI frameworks and tools already in the market viz.

The success in the interaction of these light and touch inputs enabled robots to work, also helped us to understand our own nervous system better. Alan Turing in 1950 formulated and designed a way to measure the \u2018intelligence\u2019 of a machine, which tested the thinking ability of a machine. The above test is famously known as The Turing Test and is in use still today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Business_Process_Automation_or_BPA\"><\/span>Business Process Automation or BPA<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/kissflow.com\/bpm\/business-process-automation\/reasons-why-you-automate-your-business-process\/\" target=\"_blank\">Business Process Automation or BPA<\/a> (recently becoming known as robotic process automation or RPA) is becoming more refined, efficient, and turning out to be productive. Today, automation software has become a necessity rather than a luxury. Its widespread use is optimising employee time and work, and leading to enormous resource and time-saving. We experience AI &amp; automation in our daily routine activities too, be it on Twitter, in emails, in our video games, and so on. We have AI assistants in our phones, in our cars, and in our homes. Siri doesn\u2019t always give us the answer, Alexa occasionally makes mistakes in hearing us. Recently in 2016, we saw the failure that was of Microsoft\u2019s Tay. But despite these shortfalls and failures, AI and automation are more versatile now than ever before. And they\u2019re developing and improving by the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_BPA\"><\/span>What is BPA? <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"617\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wordsofdpm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Screenshot-2021-02-22-111856.jpg?resize=750%2C617&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Intelligent Business Process Automation\" class=\"wp-image-1170\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wordsofdpm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Screenshot-2021-02-22-111856.jpg?w=1000&amp;ssl=1 1000w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wordsofdpm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Screenshot-2021-02-22-111856.jpg?resize=300%2C247&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wordsofdpm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Screenshot-2021-02-22-111856.jpg?resize=768%2C631&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>BPA automates business processes \u2013 either simple tasks or multi-layered workflows and domains. You might have heard it called robotic process automation, which refers to the notion of \u201csoftware bots\u201d or implies AI input which in short catalyses the activities and processes. Either way, the automation of business processes typically involves an automation platform, design and flow, formulae and syntax, multiple system integrations, and a series of conditional processing rules (If this happens, then do that).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Will_BPA_be_of_Use_to_Us_at_Business\"><\/span>How Will BPA be of Use to Us at Business?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"348\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wordsofdpm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Screenshot-2021-02-22-111411.jpg?resize=750%2C348&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Business process automation\" class=\"wp-image-1168\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wordsofdpm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Screenshot-2021-02-22-111411.jpg?resize=1024%2C475&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wordsofdpm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Screenshot-2021-02-22-111411.jpg?resize=300%2C139&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wordsofdpm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Screenshot-2021-02-22-111411.jpg?resize=768%2C356&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wordsofdpm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Screenshot-2021-02-22-111411.jpg?resize=1536%2C713&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wordsofdpm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Screenshot-2021-02-22-111411.jpg?w=1677&amp;ssl=1 1677w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>BPA is useful for activities and process, big and small. First, it can take monotonous, mundane, or repetitive tasks on hand and help us save our time there. But it\u2019s also capable of handling complex tasks and orchestrating larger workflows (i.e., ones that involve a series of steps and actions across multiple applications) and don\u2019t be surprised if it does it wonderfully. In fact, one of the best things about automation software is that it is so flexible and customisable and also can be programmed accordingly. BPA is not an out of the box solution at all. It\u2019s more of a personalized platform that you control. You develop a structure and set rules for the software to follow, and you design workflows to cover the tasks you want to automate. Then, BPA does its work. This means that BPA can help you with any particular area or all areas of your business, from customer management to sales processes to IT workflows to accounting and bookkeeping and various other tasks and processes. It\u2019s really up to us. So, automation will do whatever you need it to do so that you can save time and resources and use them to focus on the more challenging and higher value tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"RPA_in_Use\"><\/span>RPA in Use<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uipath.com\/rpa\/robotic-process-automation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">RPA<\/a> is also said to as a system to manage data of transactions flowing from a myriad of systems and applications related to IT. At several large multinational companies, automation is fully in process, in the accounting and finance departments assisting accountants finance executives in the analysis of their company. Most of the automation in finance is deployed in cash applications and invoice creation for international orders to cash and in various other tasks too. Director of Finance, Bob Kurpershoek, at NBC Universal says: \u201cThe volume of our transactions is high, and the processes are quite standardized. Therefore the combination of these two makes the return on investment of putting a robot in place very positive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"445\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wordsofdpm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Screenshot-2021-02-22-112046.jpg?resize=750%2C445&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Robotic process automation\" class=\"wp-image-1171\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wordsofdpm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Screenshot-2021-02-22-112046.jpg?resize=1024%2C608&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wordsofdpm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Screenshot-2021-02-22-112046.jpg?resize=300%2C178&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wordsofdpm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Screenshot-2021-02-22-112046.jpg?resize=768%2C456&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wordsofdpm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Screenshot-2021-02-22-112046.jpg?w=1232&amp;ssl=1 1232w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_Will_Accounting_be_Automated\"><\/span>When Will Accounting be Automated?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Accounting is being automated right now. Software like Accounting Seed, Automation Anywhere, Auto Entry, etc are leading the way in delivering accurate, streamlined financial management and access to real-time data to make better decisions faster. Does this eliminate the human factor? Will accountants be replaced by robots? Not at all. Automated accounting software simply helps businesses and financial professionals to get automated yet customized reports and being more productive in lesser time and then to save the time of the executives and human resources to do their job more efficiently.<br>We\u2019ve come a long way and have had a lot of changes in the accounting and bookkeeping domain. The creation of the double-entry bookkeeping was probably the last innovation in accounting. That was over 500 years ago! Now is the age of automation, and, accounting is at the forefront. <strong>Accounting automation focuses on<\/strong> the lifecycle of entire accounting, not just one part of financial management but everything related to which means that the entire process of accounting, the capturing, manipulating, and interpreting of data (transactions), is done by software, with less dependence on manual transactional entries by people<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"426\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wordsofdpm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Screenshot-2021-02-22-101236.jpg?resize=750%2C426&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wordsofdpm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Screenshot-2021-02-22-101236.jpg?resize=1024%2C582&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wordsofdpm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Screenshot-2021-02-22-101236.jpg?resize=300%2C171&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wordsofdpm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Screenshot-2021-02-22-101236.jpg?resize=768%2C437&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wordsofdpm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Screenshot-2021-02-22-101236.jpg?resize=1536%2C873&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wordsofdpm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Screenshot-2021-02-22-101236.jpg?w=1544&amp;ssl=1 1544w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_should_we_determine_what_type_of_automation_is_best_for_us\"><\/span>How should we determine what type of automation is best for us? <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s no right answer to this! Firstly, the companies range in size, in terms of both revenue and budget matters. This means that even a company with significant revenue might not have the budget or need for accounting automation. Secondly, companies span many different industries usually which means that accounting processes can be specialized based on the core operations of a business, and therefore require different capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Way_Forward_What_Next\"><\/span>The Way Forward &amp; What Next? <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The automation history, despite a few obstacles along its way, has seen a lot of success in a short period. It continues to grow and evolve even today, providing us with more creative and innovation-based solutions, interactive AI, and assists in unraveling the secrets of the universe. It\u2019s impossible to know if the science fiction writers wrote right about a robot rebellion in the future and we will only come to know this in the near future and the years to come. What\u2019s clear is that the future looks to be automated, gradually but fully. The current and future tech is really exciting, we should not forget the history of automation or the work that it has taken to get us where we are today which has really proved to be of very much use and productiveness to us.<br>Automation is on a rise in across all the industries and in all the parts of the world. We can see them in customer experience, product development, manufacturing and operations, and other processes and departments too. They\u2019re on the job in legal and HR and now gradually into finance and accounts as well. In our motive of improving efficiency, being more productive without, and of course sacrificing quality, automation is a new suite of technology tools you can put to work. As organizations look to continue with their automation journey in the digital world (referring to the human-driven process vs RPA image above taken from a report of ACCA Global), here are some steps to consider as prescribed by ACCA Global in their report: Learn more; Build a list of opportunities; Identify pilot possibilities; Pilot projects; Scale that works. So, let us all Start now; Explore; Learn; Invest, have an automated environment in place, and Focus on our core tasks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Thanking You<\/em><\/strong>, <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/wordsofdpm.com\/2021\/02\/02\/ca-karan-chandwani-the-fighting-spirit\/\">CA Karan Chandwani<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chartered Accountant, Trainer and Mentor<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Owner and Proprietor at <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/karanchandwaniandco\" target=\"_blank\">Karan Chandwani &amp; Co.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The term &#8220;Automation&#8221; was first coined in the automobile industry during 1946 to describe the increased use of automatic devices and controls in mechanized production lines.
