Abstract:
Evidence from the various reports and articles as well as the importance of the audit process shows that adjustment and/or improvement of the current approach within the accountancy sector is necessary. Research demonstrates that technology can contribute to an improvement of audit quality. Additionally, previous research increasingly recognizes that audit data analytics is likely to transform the conduct of the audit significantly. The goal of this research is to study how Audit Data Analytics is currently used within the audit. In order to answer this question, a survey was distributed via the Dutch National Accountants Association, focusing on how Audit Data Analytics is used in the accountancy sector. However, the results and the non-chronological order of the data analysis types indicate a misinterpretation or lack of understanding of the data analysis types (implemented in the survey) and their chronological order.
