October 10, 2013, i was asked to speak at the Accouting Insight event; Future Changing Role of the Auditor. Two limitations. Other speakers talked about technology and education.So i focussed on the question; does our 'role' change? I dont think so. We are (we should), we will, that trusted advisor, serving the society with an independent and objective view by providing assurance (trust).
Lets start improving that role instead of thinking about changing it.

32. IT’S ALL ABOUT OUR
VA L U E P R O P O S I TO N
The essence of the added value that connects auditors
and customers. The existence of auditing firms.
42. DISCUSSION
Considering the current ‘Quality level’ of AUDITING in general; shouldn’t we be
focusing on improving audit quality (through technology), rather than considering a
shift to an advisory role?
Should we establish TOP GUN audit engagements teams based on the best and
smartest auditors per segment / sector working for individual audit firms? Should
we ‘spread’ the independence issue and guarantee best class audit performance?
To change our role, should we innovate the business model first by implementing a
maximum partner income of X and a % of gross margin that needs to be spent on
training, talent programs and innovation?
