Auditing robotic process automation

A 4-stage robotic process automation (RPA) framework in audit practice is proposed

Based on the framework, an RPA pilot confirmation process is successfully implemented

The evidence from this study may provide valuable insights to regulators and help them understand RPA and facilitate its adoption and use in auditing

Here are a few examples of how investments in Internal Audit robotic process automation technologies can yield positive returns by improving the effectiveness and efficiency of audit processes and providing greater insight to the business: Better use of scarce resources

To launch our three-part series, we examine one of the most prominent disruptive technologies on the market: robotic process automation

When deployed successfully, RPA can significantly reduce and—in some cases—eliminate the need for human intervention in performing low-value, mandatory audit testing
