DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR THE FUTURE OF AUDIT

Year 2021, Issue: 123, 9 - 41, 04.02.2022

Abstract

The digital transformation, which is described as a paradigm shift and technological revolution, makes a radical change inevitable in auditing, as in many areas,
and offers important opportunities. The digital transformation, which requires reshaping the audit methodology, approaches and standards, will greatly affect the management
and information systems, business methods, and all processes from production to communication of the entities subject to auditing. Therefore, it will not be possible for the
audit to be carried out through traditional technologies, structures and processes and satisfied with classical purposes such as providing assurance on financial statements.
The value added to entities by audits that will be carried out faster, more efficiently and effectively with new digital technologies, and beyond that, their contribution to national
governance capacity and financial and economic stability will increase significantly. By analysing the extent to which new digital technologies can transform auditing through the
existing literature, this study aims to evaluate the conditions for audit entities to produce higher added value and the role of auditing in the future world built on digital solutions

DİJİTAL DÖNÜŞÜM VE DENETİMİN GELECEĞİNE ETKİSİ

Abstract

Bir paradigma değişimi ve teknolojik devrim olarak nitelenen dijital dönüşüm, birçok alanda olduğu gibi denetimde de köklü bir değişimi kaçınılmaz kılmakta ve önemli
fırsatlar sunmaktadır. Denetim metodolojisinin, yaklaşımlarının, standartlarının yeniden şekillenmesini gerektiren dijital dönüşüm, denetime tabi kurumların da yönetim ve bilgi
sistemlerini, iş yapma yöntemlerini ve üretimden iletişime kadar tüm süreçlerini büyük ölçüde etkileyecektir. Dolayısıyla denetimin geleneksel teknoloji, yapı ve süreçler üzerinden
yürütülmesi ve mali tablolara güvence vermek gibi klasik amaçlarla yetinmesi mümkün olmayacaktır. Yeni dijital teknolojilerle daha hızlı, verimli ve etkin yürütülecek denetimlerin
kurumlara kattığı değer ve bunun da ötesinde ulusal yönetişim kapasitesine ve mali ve ekonomik istikrara katkısı önemli ölçüde artacaktır. Bu çalışma, yeni dijital teknolojilerin
denetimi ne ölçüde dönüştürebileceğini mevcut literatür üzerinden analiz ederek, denetim kurumlarının daha yüksek katma değer üretme koşullarını ve dijital çözümler üzerine
kurulu geleceğin dünyasında denetimin rolünü değerlendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır.
