The Covid crisis has accelerated the digital transformation for internal audit departments. Their role has not changed but they need to give rapid-fact based assurance and in this context, the demand for using data analytics and data science is growing.
We raised questions such as:
- How to start with data analytics/data science?
- What is the impact of data analytics on the audit process?
- What are the benefits for internal auditors?
- What are the benefits for the stakeholders?
- What are the main obstacles?
