The document discusses the future of auditing, emphasizing the need for integration of advanced data analytics and process mining to improve efficiency and client value. It outlines key objectives for enhancing assurance services over the next 3 to 5 years, including the development of standardized audit data, automation of audit processes, and the use of predictive analytics. Furthermore, it anticipates a shift towards 'assurance on demand', utilizing new technologies and media for a more responsive and engaging auditing approach.

Around
NEXT 3 to

• Audit Data Standards facilitate development of (semi) automated audit tools
• Move away from disparate data systems and repeated request for data
