Automation and data processing play a crucial role in this context by enhancing the efficiency, accuracy, and transparency of the reports generated. This chapter explores in detail how advances in these two areas of digitalization are revolutionizing financial reporting and then analyzes the relevant technologies and their benefits and challenges, as well as best practices for their implementation.
