This white paper explores the transformative impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the audit processes within the industry. Traditional audit practices, which have been labor-intensive and prone to human error, are now being revolutionized through AI-driven automation. The document highlights how AI is streamlining routine tasks, enhancing data collection methods, and performing preliminary analyses, thereby enabling auditors to focus on more complex and judgment-based tasks. Through the automation of repetitive tasks such as data entry and account reconciliation, AI is drastically improving efficiency, accuracy, and overall audit quality
