Intelligent process automation: Application in the audit process

Abstract

Nos dias de hoje, as empresas encontram-se a implementar tecnologias que lhes permitam garantir eficácia dos serviços e uma consequente redução de custos. Complementarmente, os auditores desempenham um papel fundamental no que concerne à avaliação dos processos que se encontram a ser reestruturados devido aos avanços tecnológicos, para garantir que a continuidade de negócio não é comprometida. Esta dissertação tem como principal objetivo o desenvolvimento de um trabalho académico relacionado com a área de continuidade de negócio e as componentes de automação inteligente de processos. A componente aplicacional permite dar auxílio ao processo end-to-end de auditoria no que respeita à automatização das atividades de comunicação de auditoria, pedidos de informação e envio de relatório final. O objetivo da implementação é permitir que a avaliação realizada pelos auditores aos processos é desprovida de atividades repetitivas e otimizada pela aplicação de automação. Este desenvolvimento é complementado com a aplicação de inteligência empresarial no tratamento de indicadores de performance do departamento de auditoria, para garantir uma análise contínua da efetividade do Plano Anual de Auditoria. Para avaliar o trabalho desenvolvido, foram realizados inquéritos a equipas de auditoria de 4 bancos portugueses. Os resultados demonstraram que a implementação seria benéfica em contexto empresarial e permitiria apoiar a gestão no contexto de tomada de decisão, assim como eliminaria tarefas repetitivas que se encontram atribuídas aos auditores durante o processo de auditoria.

Nowadays, companies are implementing technologies that enable them to guarantee service efficiency and consequent cost savings. In addition, auditors play a key role in assessing processes that are being restructured due to technological advances, so that business continuity is not compromised. The main objective of this dissertation is the development of an academic work related to the area of business continuity and the components of intelligent process automation. The application component supports the end-to-end audit process by automating the activities of audit communication, information requests, and final report submission. The purpose of the implementation is to enable the assessment performed by the auditors to be devoid of repetitive activities and optimized by the automation application. This development is complemented by the application of business intelligence in the treatment of key performance indicators of the audit department, to ensure continuous analysis of the effectiveness of the Annual Audit Plan. To evaluate the work done, surveys were conducted with audit teams from 4 Portuguese banks. The results showed that the implementation would be beneficial in companies and would allow supporting management in the decision-making context, as well as eliminating repetitive tasks that are assigned to auditors during the audit process.
