When it comes to auditing, AI is transforming the meticulous process by pushing auditors to rethink traditional practices and improve their approach. The audit lifecycle involves four interconnected steps: planning and risk assessment, data collection, data analysis, and reporting. AI can help with each step, from analyzing historical and real-time data to identifying patterns and anomalies in financial documents and providing insights through visualization and highlighting critical findings. However, adopting new processes or technologies also comes with risks, such as accuracy and reliability issues, transparency and explainability concerns, security threats, and data protection challenges. To get the most out of AI in auditing, auditors must educate themselves on its potential benefits and adopt it for specific stages of the audit process, leveraging versatile tools that can be applied across industries and various documents.
