Let's not forget those "foreigners" might be after our native aweks and amois competing with our own as well.

You never know.

From your statement that an accountant is only needed for official signing purpose, we can conclude that your understanding of the accounting profession is indeed very basic. Either the scale of the company that you have seen is small, or you come from the future. As of now, no accounting firms can employ 2-3 people to audit a proper company.

A modern accountant's role is not limited to bookkeeping. Automation can only takeover part of an accountant's tasks. In fact, automation is welcomed because it eliminated human errors and freed up a modern accountant's time to perform other tasks.

As of today, bots cannot:

1) Determine the optimum capital structure of a company
2) Determine the optimum group structure of a company
3) Determine the optimum deal structure in an M&A / JV etc
4) Launch cost saving initiatives for the group (tax savings, logistics etc)
5) Help my negotiate with external parties

Bots simply do not have the business acumen to replace me as of today.

But its ok. We can see that all thes facts do not matter to you because you are here to seek validation that you are intellectually superior as a human because you are an engineer. We can feed your ego. Technology is indeed truly what changes the way we live. If you are the chief engineer at Tesla, Google, or even SEA tech companies like Grab, hats off to you. 

All hail Liamness the holy saviour of humanity. He who passed a 4-year engineering degree.
