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 (β = 0.318, t = 3.472, p = 0.000) and fintech (β = 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.
