(Jeremiah & Daferighe, 2019)

The dimension of the accountancy profession is undergoing an increasingly expanding and unpunctuated global evolution. These 21st-century twists, however, tend to pose an identity threat to the profession. The much-celebrated software substitution of the traditional roles of the Accountant coupled with the apparent professional cross-carpeting of non-accountants aided by these emerging digital initiatives appears to take-over' the seat of the Accountant. The following roles were identified for the discussion.

Evolving Dimensions
THE 21ST CENTURY PERSPECTIVE	THE FUTURE IMPERATIVES
The Accountant as a Corporate Pathfinder	Embrace an enlarged strategic and commercial role
The Accountant as a Guardian of the Corporate Model	Develop a global orientation
The Accountant as a Competent Communicator	Reinvent the talent pool

Task 1: Explain minimum of ONE new skill set required for a modern Accountant from the list above or from your own choice.
