Prepare a confident and direct presentation about information technology and how it is seen in accounting today. This can be about software or the effects of online tax accountancy programs. If possible, also prepare some handouts with documented evidence and informative articles that reinforce the implications.
Deliver the presentation by expressing the importance of embracing the technology within the framework of accounting. Demonstrate how the technology is being embraced to spearhead a new accounting movement in a more modern style for a faster-paced world.
Show lines of progression on how certain forms of accountancy have already been significantly altered by the Internet. Going forward, such insight will help students see the implications of information technology as it happens so they can prepare and adapt their business.
Close the presentation with a discussion on where technology can take accounting in the immediate future. This can be an open brainstorming session at the end of class. Then end abruptly and switch gears by asking, "If technology was infinite and if accounting a necessity, what could we do when limited only by our own imaginations?"
