Abstract
Information technology (IT) has inspired new ways of doing business and changed the way data is gathered, prepared, stored and disseminated within organisations and business stakeholders. The role of accounting practitioners is also influenced by the elements of technology where IT has become an essential element of the day-to-day accounting process. Therefore, competency in using IT among accounting practitioners to perform their tasks is vital. The main purpose of this research is to review the relevant literature on the concept of IT competency and the importance of such competency for accounting practitioners. This study culminates with opportunities for future research work, particularly in IT skills and competencies development.
