2021 International Conference on Computer Auditing in Tokyo

Abstract

Due to COVID-19, it is assumed that companies may allow special measures such as emergency response and unprecedented response that cannot be handled by conventional internal control, and there is risks of fraud and errors. It can be said that the opportunities of occurring risks and errors are increasing. For this reason, auditors are required to perform higher quality audits than ever before, and technology-based auditing methods are attracting attention in remote environments. However, there are many futuristic contents such as AI audits which can be seen on the Web etc., and there is very few specific information that can be provided such as how to utilize technology for audits at this time. In addition, it is difficult to collect the directions that regulators and research institutes are thinking in a timely manner, and I thought that there might be needs to know more about ""what I should do now"". In order to meet the needs, I aimed to create an opportunity that 2021 International Conference on Computer Audit was held for the purpose of gathering and discussing people from four positions, an audit industry (Certified Public Accountant), regulators (FSA, UK FRC), business world (internal auditor), research institutions (universities / graduate schools). I aimed to create an opportunity that think about ""what I should do now"" by having people from each position give a lecture on ""What is data analysis in auditing and how will it be developed in the future?"" We would be happy if we could provide such an opportunity to everyone who watched it.
