Intelligent agents go to work for management accountants

Article Abstract:

The field of management accounting is being revolutionized by the emergence of intelligent agents. Intelligent agents are computer programs that can function as management accountants' personal assistants. They can manage time, sort through large amounts of data and gather previously inaccessible information, and even 'learn' the characteristics of their users. Intelligent agents can interact with other agents, imitate their users, learn from example and be given instructions. There are a number commercially available intelligent agents that management accountants can choose from. These include workstation management agents, task coordinator agents, teacher and peer agents, and information overload agents.
