This study aims to analyze the influence of cloud accounting and financial
technology (fintech) on the role of accountants, with accounting ethics as a
moderating variable. A quantitative approach was employed using the
Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) method. The
research sample consisted of 120 respondents, namely internal accountants of
companies in Denpasar City who utilize cloud accounting and fintech systems
in their accounting and financial reporting activities. he study found that cloud
accounting (? = 0.318, t = 3.472, p = 0.000) and fintech (? = 0.377, t = 4.225,
p = 0.000) both have a positive and significant impact on the role of
accountants, indicating that technological advancement strengthens
accountants’ professional functions. However, accounting ethics did not
significantly moderate either relationship (p > 0.05), suggesting that in the
digital era, the enhancement of accountants’ roles is driven more by
technological adaptability and competence than by ethical moderation. Overall,
this study emphasizes that digital transformation through cloud accounting and
fintech drives the evolution of the accountant’s role from an administrative
function toward a strategic, data-driven decision-making function.
