Scope

Information Technology on/for Auditing purposes can be defined as the use of technology to support auditing procedures and to achieve the goals of auditing in any area. Commonly, this research topic is defined as Computer-assisted Audit Tools (CAATs) or Computer-assisted Audit Tools and Techniques, CAATTs. It includes tools to produce working papers, data analysis and extraction to support tests, to predict data behaviour (data mining tools) and to do statistical analysis, sampling, stratification or regression. The most known tools are Generalized Audit Software (GAS). The term Computer-assisted Audit Tools and Techniques (CAATTs) refers also to collaborative approaches and data mining techniques.

Studies on CAATTs’ use and acceptance in the workplace reveal that acceptance is higher in data analysis and extraction tools but low if a relevant expertise is needed on statistics, mathematics or computer science to perform some audit procedure. Approaches to mainstream CAATs’ use, propose specific training methods for Audit Tools connected to organizations’ real needs and expectations.

Since the 1st edition of WICTA, in 2014, Barcelona, new topics were included to gather the trends in the area of ICT for auditing. On WICTA 2019, we keep the invitation to colleagues around the world to present and discuss relevant topics to advance the use of ICT in Auditing. Members of Programme Committee include more than 60 researchers from 17 countries. This research collaborative community is being developed upon this Special Interest Group’s topics: this will give researchers the opportunity to promote and present their most recent research results, tools and other developments and facilitate the discussion of ongoing work in this area, potentially uniting all the individual research topics and efforts.
