Abstract

The incorporation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in financial accounting represents a major transformation in business processes, optimizing information management and strengthening strategic decision-making. In Ecuador, its adoption has progressively increased, although challenges related to training and technological adaptation persist. This research followed a qualitative approach, applying surveys to companies in the province of Cañar to analyze the impact of AI on accounting processes. The results reveal that most companies recognize the benefits of automation, particularly in reducing errors and recording times, although implementation costs and lack of specialized personnel remain as limitations. The discussion, consistent with the studies of Castillo and Cedeño (2023) and Ferreira da Silva, Miranda, and Angélico Gonçalves (2025), emphasizes that AI does not replace accounting professionals but enhances their analytical and strategic capabilities. In conclusion, the application of AI in Ecuadorian financial accounting significantly contributes to efficiency and accuracy in accounting management, promoting a transition toward more digital, competitive, and sustainable business models.
