This episode zooms in on the Next Generation Audit. What will the work of future accountants involve?

‘The complexity of the world is increasing and coping with this complexity requires specialised people. Where one used to choose to become a financial auditor, there are now many other ways to develop yourself and specialise further based on your interests.’

The impact of digitalisation on audits and the work of accountants is undeniable.

‘Ten years ago, you would spend a week at your client’s company. You’d open the files on the Monday morning and get to work. Things are much faster today. And if you ask me what an audit will involve a few years from now, I see a combination of people supported by technology and data. What is essential is how you bring them together.’
