On Friday, Nirmala Sitharaman, Union Finance Minister, addressed the 21st World Congress of Accountants. She stated that Web3 will revolutionize the way financial information is managed.

Sitharaman addressed the accountants and stated, “When technology is adapted to technology, Web3 takes over our lives.” The way financial information is collected, processed, and reported will make a huge difference.

The 21st World Congress of Accountants was jointly organized by the International Federation of Accountants and the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. It is held every four years since 1904 and this year it is held in India.
She also suggested that accounting professionals explore new technologies like blockchain, AI and data analytics. Also, consider how Web3 technologies can impact financial information gathering, processing and reporting.

“All of these are going to give us an advantage, and machine-learning is also going to help us and to improve the accounting process itself, and therefore, meaningful generation information to aid decision making is going to be so more machine driven,” said the finance minister.
