44 pages, 11 tables, 9 pictures, 22 references. The main goal of this thesis is to identify the IT skills developed by accounting professionals working in Lithuania and their expectations for continuous improvement in light of technology-driven trends impacting the future of the profession. This is achieved through scientific literature analysis and empirical study using a survey method. Research methods include scientific literature review, quantitative research, and comparative analysis. The survey results were summarized using graphical methods and calculated descriptive statistics. The thesis consists of three main parts: scientific literature analysis, overview of research and survey results, and conclusions. The relevance of the study is based on the evolving profile of required professional skills for specialists providing accounting services, particularly in the context of remote work changes prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The overview of the survey results helped identify the key IT skills, competencies, areas for improvement, and motivations for continuous development among accounting professionals, driven by the increasing need for IT competencies. It was found that the areas of accounting most receptive to IT innovations are auditing and financial accounting. Accounting professionals in Lithuania are open to technological innovations and demonstrate a fairly unified positive outlook regarding the irreplaceability of their specialty in the perspective of IT development.
