In this study, we show the impact of using financial technology (FinTech) on accounting, auditing and accounting education in Jordan. The descriptive analytical approach was used by referring to studies related to the study axes (accounting profession, auditing profession, accounting education, professional and educational standards). A questionnaire was developed that included the study attempts and distributed to a random sample of 100 individuals from the study community consisting of accountants, auditors and faculty members. 96 questionnaires were retrieved and were valid for analysis purposes. The study concluded that financial technology has a high impact on developing the accounting, auditing and accounting education profession in Jordan. In addition, the process of using financial technology faces many challenges that limit its use, including risks related to information security, weak infrastructure, and knowledge of users and customers; while the obstacles that hinder the development of accounting education include that the process of modifying plans and curricula takes a long time that is not consistent with the development of financial services, in addition to the high cost of developing them and the cost of using technology in the educational process.

摘要

In this study, we show the impact of using financial technology (FinTech) on accounting, auditing and accounting education in Jordan. The descriptive analytical approach was used by referring to studies related to the study axes (accounting profession, auditing profession, accounting education, professional and educational standards). A questionnaire was developed that included the study attempts and distributed to a random sample of 100 individuals from the study community consisting of accountants, auditors and faculty members. 96 questionnaires were retrieved and were valid for analysis purposes. The study concluded that financial technology has a high impact on developing the accounting, auditing and accounting education profession in Jordan. In addition, the process of using financial technology faces many challenges that limit its use, including risks related to information security, weak infrastructure, and knowledge of users and customers; while the obstacles that hinder the development of accounting education include that the process of modifying plans and curricula takes a long time that is not consistent with the development of financial services, in addition to the high cost of developing them and the cost of using technology in the educational process.
