Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly reshaping the landscape of accounting and auditing, making it essential for firms and future professionals to understand the opportunities and challenges it brings. This seminar invites students to explore these developments by conducting their own research on a selected topic within the broader theme. Through the preparation of a written seminar paper and an accompanying presentation, students will critically engage with current developments of AI in accounting and auditing. The aim of the seminar is to prepare students for the successful completion of a bachelor's thesis, both in terms of formal requirements and methodological approaches in the field of accounting. By the end of the course, students should have acquired knowledge of selected methods of accounting research.
