Abstract: The technological revolution, which emerged in the 21st century, had many affects on human life. In this era, which is also referred to as the age of technology and industry 4.0, the industrial revolution came to the forefront and brought with it digitalization. The Industry 4.0 revolution, which was voiced in 2011 in Hannover, Germany, expressed developments that will deeply affect all sectors and cause many changes in the structure of the labor market. Digitalization will affect the profession of accounting as all professions are influenced. For this reason, accounting members should be able to adopt technological information in addition to accounting information. In this context, the aim of this study is to examine the effect of industry 4.0 on the future of the accounting profession.
