Research on the Path to Align Accounting Talent Cultivation with Industrial Demand in the Era of Intelligent Finance

Abstract

With the rapid development of intelligent financial systems, the role of accounting is undergoing a profound transformation from traditional recording and reporting to data analysis and strategic insight. Consequently, the industrial demand for accounting talents has also shifted structurally, with a core focus on technological integration, higher-order cognition, and business acumen. However, the current accounting talent cultivation system lags behind and is disconnected from these needs, particularly in the integration of knowledge systems, the construction of competency frameworks, and the design of evaluation mechanisms, making it difficult to effectively respond to the dynamic demands of the industry. This study aims to systematically analyze the aforementioned adaptation dilemmas and thereby construct a path for talent cultivation that is suited to the era of intelligent finance. The research proposes that training objectives should be repositioned based on a competency matrix, that a knowledge-ability integration should be achieved through interdisciplinary curricula and contextualized teaching models, and that a dynamic quality assurance mechanism based on continuous feedback should be established. These measures are intended to drive a systematic and sustainable alignment between the talent cultivation system and industrial demands.
