Accounting, like almost every industry, is being disrupted by new and emerging technologies. This disruption will affect auditing in a unique way. This session will share the most important changes, constants, and uncertainties for the future of audit. Learn why advancements in physical technologies will become more important for deployment in the field, while data analysis, AI, and quantum computing will be impactful when doing testing and sampling.
