Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to examine the challenges and obstacles that NGOs need to address throughout the digitization process, particularly in the context of accounting. This research will look into how digital transformation affects ongoing work in NGOs and how these changes affect roles of accounting professionals in the organization.
Methodology: The paper is based upon a single case study with a qualitative approach. Primary data was collected through semi-structured interviews and questionnaires.
Theoretical perspectives: Technology Acceptance Model and Sensemaking Theory
Empirical foundation: This study focuses on a field office of an international NGO operating in Vietnam, with participants ranging from junior to senior accounting roles. Data was gathered on their experiences with digital tools including perceived benefits, challenges such as resource constraints and digital literacy gaps and the evolving nature of their roles in a digitally transformed environment.
Conclusion: Our findings highlight the crucial role of digital transformation in reshaping the roles and operational processes of accounting professionals within NGOs. Digital transformation enhances the efficiency, transparency and accountability of NGO accounting practices by reducing tasks and enabling strategic roles for accounting professionals. However, there are many challenges such as limited funding, organizational resistance and digital literacy gaps hinder adoption. (Less)
