This dissertation addresses three problems in the field of robotic process automation (RPA). First, a generalisable method for identifying and prioritising RPA process candidates is introduced. Second, the impact of RPA on management accounting is examined and evidence is presented that RPA constitutes a suitable automation solution for management accounting tasks. However, the overall impact is only minor. Third, the extent to which artificial intelligence is complementary and integrable into RPA as well as the resulting effects on the applicability of RPA is investigated.
