in a profession built on precision, trust, and timeless principles, a disruptive force has arrived—and it’s not just another regulation. it’s technology. automation, ai, and machine learning are redefining accounting at a rapid pace, sparking a pressing question: is technology a force for good, or the demise of accountants as we know them?

reimagine what audit is … and what will be audited

hand below light bulb

artificial intelligence and other technologies challenge us to understand what these tools can tell us.

transforming audit for the future

“the only thing we know about the future is that it will be different.” – peter drucker

a big challenge for firms has always been change management. we’re all used to doing our work the way we’ve done it for years. many auditors learned to audit by looking at last year’s workpapers and repeating that approach, but with this year’s numbers. so when i tell groups of auditors that the way we’ve been auditing since the dawn of time will have to change, there’s pushback.

change is hard. no one wants to change unless that change will bring significant, measurable results. implementing just one or two of the ideas i have discussed in my posts can be uncomfortable and unfamiliar. innovation takes most auditors way outside their comfort zone. but change is also essential, unless we’re all willing to see our profession go the way of the dinosaur.

offering your services in tiered packages (rather than ad-hoc or one-size-fits-all) can be a game-changer. it provides clarity for clients, helps you avoid scope creep and increases your revenue by capturing different levels of client needs.

at meyer tax consulting (my firm), we developed a structured tiered approach, which i’ll use as an example. you can model your own tiers similarly, customized to your niche and strengths.

“bringing your whole self to work is still a radical act,” says shimamoto, founder and managing director of intraprisetechknowlogies llc and founder and inspiration architect for the center for accounting transformation.

for much of his career, it was one he avoided.
