DPU and NEXTTO Collaborate to Enhance Accounting Education with AI Skills
Dhurakij Pundit University has integrated advanced data cleansing and AI training into its accounting curriculum to prepare students for the digital era.
On October 5, 2026, the Faculty of Accountancy at Dhurakij Pundit University (DPU) updated its 'Digital Tools for Accounting' course for third-year students. The initiative featured a guest lecture by Pathakawin Monthong from NEXTTO, who provided practical training on the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Optical Character Recognition (OCR), and specialized software in modern accounting workflows.
According to Prachachat Business, the program focuses on equipping students with essential data cleansing skills. This shift aims to redefine the role of accountants in an era increasingly dominated by automation and AI-driven data processing. By mastering these digital tools, students are expected to transition from traditional manual bookkeeping to more analytical and strategic roles within the financial sector.
For residents and professionals in Thailand, this development highlights the ongoing integration of AI into professional education, signaling a broader trend of digital transformation across local industries. While the immediate impact is focused on academic curriculum development, it reflects a growing necessity for workforce adaptability in the face of technological advancement. It remains to be confirmed how these specific training modules will be expanded to other faculties or if similar partnerships will be established with other industry leaders to further bridge the gap between academic theory and the evolving demands of the Thai labor market.
