The journey toward a fully data-driven audit that utilizes AI begins by first effectively leveraging automation and analytics in your audit workflow. A good example is identifying patterns in reasonably clean data that can be used to make useful predictions. Another is promoting continuous risk assessment, documenting each appropriately and then seamlessly updating the audit plan. Fact is, you will gain multiple efficiencies and learn as you go when you execute a data-driven audit.
