Data & AI in auditing

In auditing, there is a wide range of applications for the use of artificial intelligence. The focus is on the automation of process steps that can be made more efficient through AI. These are activities that involve a high level of manual effort and are gladly abandoned by humans. The evaluation of portfolios, auditing of annual financial statements or management reports, reading out (handwritten) documents or e-mails: processes that involve extensive manual steps and a high expenditure of time. 

But not only repetitive standard processes can be automated by AI in auditing. Topics that require further cognitive abilities, such as evaluating a contract and understanding the content, can also be easily implemented by self-learning systems. Konfuzio is ideally suited to increase net market time, so that more client contact and thus more business can be generated from existing working time.
