[Speaker] Masayo Hoshina, Ph.D. Executive Officer, Accenture Japan Head of Data & AI Group, Accenture Japan Co-Head, Accenture Innovation Hub Tokyo [Key Lecture Content] The emergence of large language models is subjecting all industries to waves of transformation. Particularly in sales and administrative roles, it has been pointed out that an average of 44% of labor hours could be changed by AI. In this lecture, we will introduce the current state of AI implementation while providing an overview of AI from the past to the future, examining both the growth opportunities and risks presented by AI from multiple perspectives. While AI serves as a catalyst for growth for companies and workers, it is also a disruptor that fundamentally changes the nature of work. As companies stand at a significant crossroads, we will clearly explain the pathway to the total enterprise reinvention (TER) of the entire organization.

In recent years, the environment surrounding accounting has changed significantly due to legal reforms, remote work, and labor shortages. On the other hand, many companies are facing challenges such as increased workload and inefficiency due to analog workflows and reliance on specific individuals. This seminar will clearly explain the key points for promoting "Accounting DX" that leads to solving these challenges, incorporating actual case studies. In particular, we will specifically introduce how to overcome the challenges related to "people" and "systems," which often become barriers to advancing DX, and how to create a structure that allows focus on "truly necessary tasks." Furthermore, we will focus on the "inefficiency of data integration" that many companies face after implementing expense reimbursement systems. We will explore how to eliminate issues such as double entry and human errors that can occur when integrating with HR and accounting systems through automation using no-code tools. Through the utilization of "ASTERIA Warp," which supports the automation of data integration with no-code technology, and case studies of the expense reimbursement system "Rakuraku Seisan," we will provide concrete tips for dramatically enhancing the productivity of accounting operations.
