As multi-award-winning auditors for medium-sized companies, we always have one eye on the future. The questions that drive us are: What will the audit of the future look like? What added value can we offer our clients in the future? How can we become even better? In our view, ongoing digitalisation and the use of innovative technologies will permanently change the audit of the future. In this article, we will show you how the use of modern technologies can already make a difference today, using specific examples.
Technological transformation in the audit
The digital revolution is changing the way we audit and opening up new dimensions in data analysis and evaluation:
- Increased use of data analysis, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning for deeper and more precise insights;
- Automation of routine tasks, allowing auditors to focus on more complex tasks;
- using cloud solutions and data analytics for more efficient audit processes; and
- moving from sample testing to analysing complete data sets through big data and automation.
Companies benefit from greater insights into their financial activities and increased audit assurance.
Improved risk identification and risk management
Modern auditing involves more than just checking the figures. Rather, it acts as an early warning system for companies by identifying risks and weaknesses in processes and controls at an early stage. Auditors are developing into strategic partners and company management benefits from valuable support:
- optimisation of compliance management and early risk detection;
- improvement of budgeting and financing structures, which can lead to an optimised bank rating;
- minimisation of disruption to day-to-day business through more efficient audit processes;
- faster reporting and timely addressing of critical findings.
More transparency and trust
Trust is built through openness and transparent processes – and that is precisely what modern, digitalised audit methods achieve:
- companies gain more transparency through more comprehensive data analysis.
- The level of audit achieved is provided in real time.
- Trust in financial reporting is strengthened, including that of stakeholders.
Mastering challenges
The path to the digital future of auditing requires foresight and continuous development. Our auditors place a strong focus on the following points:
- constant adaptation to new technological requirements;
- ensuring confidentiality and data protection in the face of increasing digitalisation;
- balancing automation and human judgement.
Our vision of the future of auditing
The audit will not only become more technically advanced, but also more value-added for our clients, going beyond mere compliance with legal requirements to create real added value for companies. We make technology work for us, not the other way around, because personal contact is our top priority.
