Abstract

This study aims to analyze the perception of accounting professionals in the state of Alagoas regarding the use of information technology tools in their daily activities. Using a quantitative approach, an online questionnaire was administered to a sample of 83 professionals, providing data on the respondents' profiles, frequency of technology use, and perceptions of the benefits and challenges associated with its use. The results revealed that most professionals recognize the importance of technology, particularly in optimizing time and facilitating accounting routines. However, the study identified that 87.96% (73 respondents) have a basic or intermediate level of computer skills, highlighting the need for continuous training to meet the technological demands of the profession. Among the main perceived benefits are the optimization of work time and the improvement in service quality. As a limitation, the study notes the concentration of respondents in the eastern region of Alagoas, suggesting the need for more representative samples in future studies. It concludes that adapting to and enhancing technological skills are essential for accountants to achieve greater efficiency and effectiveness in a constantly evolving market.
