About the Seminar: The Internet-of-Things (IoT, 物聯網) is a new technological advancement that has the potential to revolutionize the way businesses gather data—and, in the process, transform many aspects of accounting and auditing. As with cloud computing, public accountants need to understand what is coming so that they can adapt to the changes the IoT will bring, including new opportunities for advisory services in big data and analytics. Understanding what the IoT is and how it will affect businesses is necessary to understand its impact on accounting firms and other organizations that employ CPAs. Wireless technology already allows devices including mobile phones, tablets, and computers to communicate with the internet from almost anywhere. But now, devices not traditionally considered “smart,” such as appliances, car diagnostics, and wearable fitness monitors, are using sensors to capture data and transmit it to the internet. In the relatively near future, almost all devices will be equipped with sensors and internet capability. Internet connectivity also means that devices have, or will have, the ability to provide updates on their use to manufacturers. Do you want to know how often a customer turns on your product every day? Or how many times it is used before it breaks? Or how many devices that customer has in her house? The IoT will one day provide that type of invaluable market intelligence to CPA firms’ corporate clients. The seminar would provide you an overview of IoT and how this disruptive technology is going to revolutionize the Accounting Industry.
