Discussion from Student
This article discusses the development and progression of AI within the accounting field. Many firms had invested early on to advance their technology, leading to a competitive advantage and increase in their companies’ productivity. AI is taking in and analyzing large volumes of data that no human or team of people would be able to do, which has lead to the automation of less sophisticated job tasks, such as bookkeeping and other data entry positions. Companies can develop and fine-tune their own AI products to produce even more efficient results rather than using a generic AI system. This process can take a lot of resources, like time and money, that many smaller firms may not be able to give, resulting in them being slightly behind the advancements of larger firms, like the Big Four. However, even though it may seem like AI can do anything and everything, humans will still be needed for the more analytic and decision-orientated computations and more sophisticated tasks. 
With all the advantages of implementing and progressing AI in companies, also comes implications within all the fields of accounting. In the field of auditing, companies have already been using AI to automate the examination of financial information based on programming the AI on what to look for. This definitely can make the auditing process more productive and use less time to look through larger amounts of data, but there is certainly a risk with only having the AI evaluate the records. There are many criterion that need to be checked for when auditing, like accuracy, completeness, and compliance with laws and regulations. While an auditor assesses financial information to ensure those things, professional judgement and decision making is also involved, which can be hard to program an AI system to do. Because of this, humans will still be needed to double check the examination is done correctly and to enhance the AI’s results to the clients by providing a detailed analysis of the findings. An implication that can apply to all fields, and other careers besides accounting, is the decrease in the number of entry level job positions offered. Entry level jobs allow for basic skills to develop and a learning environment to then be able to advance through positions. By AI taking on these basic jobs, it serves to ask how new hires will close this gap for themselves to be able to feel like they have the experience they need to move up.

Review the scenario and watch this week’s videos before you complete the activity below. This scenario can also be found in the “Problems – Series A” section 10-19A of Ch. 10, “Planning for Capital Investments” of Fundamental Managerial Accounting Concepts.
Scenario: Dwight Donovan, the president of Donovan Enterprises, is considering 2 investment opportunities. Because of limited resources, he will be able to invest in only 1 of them. Project A is to purchase a machine that will enable factory automation; the machine is expected to have a useful life of 4 years and no salvage value. Project B supports a training program that will improve the skills of employees operating the current equipment. Initial cash expenditures for Project A are $400,000 and for Project B are $160,000. The annual expected cash inflows are $126,000 for Project A and $52,800 for Project B. Both investments are expected to provide cash flow benefits for the next 4 years. Donovan Enterprises’ desired rate of return is 8 percent. Your task as Senior Accountant is to use your knowledge of net present value and internal rate of return to identify the preferred method and best investment opportunity for the company and present your results to Dwight Donovan.
Use Excel®—showing all work and formulas—to compute the following:
Compute the net present value of each project. Round your computations to 2 decimal points.
Compute the approximate internal rate of return for each project. Round your rates to 6 decimal points
Create an 8- to 12-slide PowerPoint® presentation showing the comparison of the net present value approach with the internal rate of return approach calculated above. Complete the following in your presentation: 
Analyze the results of the net present value calculations and the significance of these results, supported with examples.
Determine which project should be adopted based on the net present value approach and provide a rationale for your decision.
Analyze the results of the internal rate of return calculation and the significance of these results, supported with examples.
Determine which project should be adopted based on the internal rate of return approach and provide a rationale for your decision.
Determine the preferred method in the given circumstances and provide reasoning and details to support the method selected.
Synthesize results of analyses and computations to determine the best investment opportunity to recommend to the president of Donovan Enterprises.
Cite references to support your assignment.
Format your citations according to APA guidelines.
Submit the Excel spreadsheet along with the presentation.
