This practical workshop aims to show how AI can be used in an audit of financial statements, specifically addressing the following:
• Audit planning
• Risk assessment
• Substantive test

It will also include practical steps to:
• write better prompts to obtain useful audit-related outputs;
• identify weaknesses, errors, and risks in AI-generated response

Planning – Using AI to:

  • compare current-year and prior-year financial information
  • identify unusual trends, balances, and relationships using AI
  • prepare management inquiry questions
  • generate preliminary risk observations

Testing – Using AI to assist in:

  • extracting key terms from agreements, e.g. lease agreements
  • reviewing revenue contract for performance obligations and pricing clauses
  • identifying accounting issues with reference to accounting standards
  • scanning board minutes and correspondence for audit-relevant matters

Write effective prompts that generate more relevant, complete, and reviewable outputs

  • prompting for audit procedures, issue summaries, and memo structures
  • prompting for comparison, exception analysis, and question generation

Common weaknesses in AI-generated responses:

  • incorrect facts,
  • missing facts,
  • unsupported assumptions,
  • wrong standard references,
  • overconfident conclusions

An integrated case will be used to show how an AI tool will be used for the above tasks.
