The challenges in traditional auditing
Auditing has traditionally been bogged down by manual processes that are not only time-consuming but also prone to errors. Auditors spend countless hours organizing data from disparate sources, which can lead to disjointed workflows and a frustrating experience. These challenges can be further exacerbated by the ongoing staffing shortages experienced by audit firms across the industry.
In addition, implementing new technologies can be challenging for auditors, especially when these tools aren’t seamlessly integrated into a firm’s existing audit workflow. Often, adopting new technologies requires firms to modify their audit methodology or undergo time-consuming data conversion processes. These factors often make it difficult for auditors who want to benefit from the advantages of new technologies.
These challenges create a pressing need for innovation, and that’s exactly what Audit Intelligence Analyze is designed to provide.
Introducing Audit Intelligence Analyze
Thomson Reuters Audit Intelligence Analyze addresses these issues head-on by integrating advanced AI technologies into the engagement management process. This innovative tool simplifies audit analysis by automating the most tedious tasks. With Audit Intelligence Analyze, auditors can now:
- Analyze all transactions to focus audit procedures on high-risk areas and minimize time spent on low-risk ones.
- Improve audit quality by pulling out unusual transactions, providing the required documentation, and catching items that would normally be missed by humans.
- Customize techniques and criteria for the specific engagement to have full control over how the analysis is performed.
- Effortlessly obtain financial information, including general ledger, sub-ledger, and trial balance data with easy data ingestion.
