The Impact of Machine Learning on Auditors

Description

Headlines abound saying that artificial intelligence (AI) will eliminate the need for auditors. In reality, AI provide an excellent opportunity for auditors to automate more routine procedures and focus on delivering more value-added insights to help improve an organization's performance or risk mitigation. Conversely, the use of AI can also have some adverse results if not managed properly. Auditors must be aware of these risks and work to ensure that the proper controls are in place to manage the risks introduced to their engagements with Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and AI.
