THE BENEFITS OF AUDIT DIGITALISATION AND THE EFFECTS ON THE WORK OF AUDITORS

Abstract

The business environment is changing faster than ever, with technology disruptions and recreating the way companies perform basic processes. Digital adoption means improved quality and greater transparency, shorter audit cycle times, reduced errors and lack of services. It is more than a transformation of technology. Through all the changes such as the acceleration of administrative tasks and digital investments, all contribute in optimizing efficiency, so that professional auditors can focus on more strategic areas of their roles and, in turn, add more value to shareholders. This paper describes what digitization means and how it is perceived, what is the effect of the work of auditors and what will be the impact it will have in the future. The digital transformation of processes consists in adapting the company's processes to the new digital environment. By automating processes, it means that all information is stored and available in the digital version.
