Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the information technology (IT) competencies among accounting employees in Jolo, Sulu. Employing a descriptive research approach and survey questionnaire, the study evaluates the technical abilities, IT knowledge, self-assessed competencies in a variety of IT fields, and demographic profiles of the respondents. The results show that while accounting staff members are competent in using computers and the internet and other fundamental IT abilities, they are not as comfortable with more complex IT programs or industry-specific standards such those set forth by the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC). These findings underscore the need for enhanced training and professional development to bridge the competency gaps and better equip accounting professionals to meet the evolving demand of the industry.
