The ability to develop bots to automate tasks and processes using robotic process automation (RPA) is receiving significant attention in accounting. Auditors often struggle to know what tasks to automate and how to prioritize bot development. Drawing upon socio-technical systems theory and using...

The ability to automate tasks and processes using robotic process automation (RPA)—or the development of bots—is receiving significant attention in accounting. Auditors often struggle to know what tasks to automate and how to prioritize bot development. Drawing upon socio-technical systems...

Process Mining (PM) is a modern approach for analyzing business processes and associated with far-reaching improvements (such as increased internal control evaluation, or more efficient analysis of process activities within a workflow). It can thus leverage the capabilities of auditors to...

Process Mining has become a standard in many companies as part of process control in various areas. Previous papers for specific areas have discussed its use to ensure good governance. This paper proposes generic use cases of process mining in the context of assurance activities in the...

Although robotic process automation (RPA) usage is growing rapidly in accounting, concerns are emerging regarding the internal controls and overall governance structure surrounding RPA. To help address these concerns, we use a design science research approach and work with a Fortune 500 company...
