Description
This study investigates the optimisation process of accounting recording systems within financial institutions, focussing on the role of robotic process automation in multifinance firms. By employing a qualitative exploratory approach through a systematic literature review, the research evaluates the extent to which existing studies have explored five key steps of process optimisation: tasks and process identification, workflow redesign, development and Testing, Implementation, and performance monitoring. The findings reveal that tasks and process identification have received the most attention among these steps, while development and testing remain the least explored areas. The study highlights the transformative potential of robotic process automation in enhancing efficiency, accuracy, and decision-making within financial operations. Furthermore, it provides insights into the challenges and opportunities for improving Robotic Process Automation implementation, suggesting a need for further
research in less explored dimensions. This research contributes to understanding the current state of adoption and offers
actionable insights for future advancements in the financial sector
