Although audit practice has been improved over the last 30 years by the incorporation of office software such as Microsoft Excel and Word, working paper software such as CaseWare Working Paper, and audit tools such as Audit Command Language (ACL) and CaseWare IDEA, a massive amount of manual, repetitive, simple, and rule-based tasks are still taking up much of auditors' time. Examples of such tasks include audit data preparation, file organization, integration of data from multiple files, performance of basic audit tests in Excel, copying and pasting data, and manual annotations. These tasks are not only time consuming and rule based; they are also prone to error. To further improve the efficiency and effectiveness of audit practice, auditors need to rethink methods and leverage newer technology.
