Resumo

Objetivo: Compreender como as tecnologias digitais influenciam o papel desempenhado pela função financeira em diferentes empresas através de um modelo teórico adaptado de Weber (2011), que analisa mudanças decorrentes do ganho de eficiência e eficácia.

Método: Foi adotada uma metodologia qualitativa através de entrevistas semiestruturadas com 15 profissionais da função financeira em diferentes organizações. Utilizamos a análise de conteúdo para alcançar entendimento contextual dos casos através da codificação por correspondência de padrões que compara dados empíricos através de suas similaridades, diferenças e frequência.

Resultados: Observamos dois determinantes importantes que repercutem na função financeira: o formato escolhido durante a adoção de tecnologias digitais (desenvolvimento interno ou contratação de tecnologias de fornecedores externos); e o modo com que a liderança da função financeira se apropria dos ganhos de eficiência e eficácia gerados pelas tecnologias. Em relação aos ganhos de eficiência e eficácia, observamos que estes são apropriados conforme as prioridades estabelecidas pela liderança de cada função financeira, de modo que as tecnologias digitais operam como mecanismos de reforço ao papel já desempenhado pela área.

Contribuições: Este estudo contribui para a literatura ao demonstrar que a digitalização é um fenômeno heterogêneo e contingente com repercussões diferentes em cada contexto organizacional. Reforçamos a necessidade do desenvolvimento de profissionais contábeis com competências digitais e habilidades interpessoais. Para a prática, o estudo orienta decisões referentes à adoção e uso de tecnologias digitais.
