If you you're an SME and input the right data at the initial point, then no need.

But if it's a large scale business...calm down, they're getting there with AI very soon.

I take your bias to mean you're Accounting inclined professionally?

You are talking of CEOs bro, and being a CEO has nothing to do with IT but business management.
The biggest boys are traders, sales people, marketers and guys in finance like investment bankers, portfolio managers etc. using the word ā€œITā€ is too broad, you can say people need IT skills in the world of today like Python, SQL, Tableau and excel skills to run data and do their work. But doing IT as a full time career is good to earn decent money at mid level, but the people eating the fattest bonuses and getting the fastest promotion are in Profit part of the business

This is a mature comment, and very correct.
The average Nigerian on the internet today indeed doesn't know what a Produce Inspector was.
May you live long!
