Amidst the scrolls of ancient sums and tales,

Emerging technologies, like ships with sails,

In the realm of counting's steady domain,

Foretell a future wrought with novel gain.

As blockchain's whispers grace the eager ears,

Immutable ledgers, allay our fears,

Transactions rendered clear, as crystal spring,

A future where trust takes its sovereign wing.

AI, a bright intellect's gift divine,

Swiftly sorts data, like stars that shine,

Insights abound, predictions finely tuned,

Guiding decisions under knowledge's moon.

Cloud's gentle embrace, a boundless sphere,

Where data rests, free from mortal fear,

Collaboration knows no limits nor shore,

A future where efficiency's banners soar.

Automation's hand, an eager friend,

Tirelessly toils, tasks without end,

Human prowess, towards new paths it steers,

To heights of strategy, uncharted frontiers.

Data's analytics, treasure trove untold,

Revealing patterns, mysteries unfold,

Empowering decisions with evidence true,

A future more relevant, errors adieu.

In this realm of change and innovation's flight,

Accounting's future takes its stance, upright,

Emerging technologies, partners in dance,

Weave a world of progress, a forward advance.

Yet, let not technology lead us astray,

Ethics and values, our steadfast stay,

In shaping tomorrows with foresight as our guide,

Accounting's destiny, with ethics, shall ride.
