The aim of this thesis is to analyze how Artificial Intelligence (AI) and emerging digital technologies can be integrated into internal and external audit processes. The study first examines the theoretical and regulatory framework of auditing, with particular reference to the International Standards on Auditing (ISA). It then develops a practical application showing how AI-driven tools, data analytics and spreadsheet-based technologies can support audit procedures, in order to identify unusual transactions, assess potential risk areas, and improve the efficiency and reliability of audit evidence.
L’obiettivo di questa tesi è analizzare come l’Intelligenza Artificiale (IA) e gli strumenti digitali possano essere integrati nei processi di audit interno ed esterno. Il lavoro esamina dapprima il quadro teorico e regolamentare dell’audit, con particolare riferimento agli International Standards on Auditing (ISA). Successivamente, analizza alcune applicazioni pratiche di strumenti basati sull’IA in grado di supportare le procedure di audit, identificando transazioni anomale, valutando potenziali aree di rischio e migliorando l’efficienza e l’affidabilità degli elementi probativi.

Abstract
The aim of this thesis is to analyze how Artificial Intelligence (AI) and emerging digital technologies can be integrated into internal and external audit processes. The study first examines the theoretical and regulatory framework of auditing, with particular reference to the International Standards on Auditing (ISA). It then develops a practical application showing how AI-driven tools, data analytics and spreadsheet-based technologies can support audit procedures, in order to identify unusual transactions, assess potential risk areas, and improve the efficiency and reliability of audit evidence.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
