Abstract
This study investigates the impact of digital transformation on modern accounting practices among Jordanian SMEs, focusing on the moderating role of organizational culture. Digital transformation using AI, blockchain, and cloud computing improves operational efficiency, real-time financial reporting, and decision making. However, the integration of these technologies poses challenges such as skill gaps, cost constraints, and cultural resistance. A quantitative survey of 480 employees in managerial roles from Jordanian SMEs shows that organizational culture plays a dual role as a driver and moderator of digital transformation. The findings confirm the role of digital transformation in reshaping modern accounting practices. Also, this study shows that to get the most out of digital transformation in accounting, a culture of innovation and continuous learning is required.
