Five tips to navigate your audit software journey
If you are an accountant wrestling with the digital era, your audit software journey could very well start here.
It’s more than likely that you have plenty of questions about which solution you should be using.
Some of these may include: How do I find a reliable supplier? What is cloud-based? What’s the point in going digital and how will it actually help?
To help you, we’ve put together 5 tips to direct you in your quest to help you choose the most suitable software for your audit missions.
1. Think about what you need…
Some providers will have long lists of advantages and not all of them will be beneficial to you.
So take your time and list all the features you think you might need. Just ask yourself: does the software provide me with everything I need to complete my mission effectively?
For example: A user-friendly software interface: if you can’t use it then you won’t be gaining much time.Real-time updated ISA’s integrated: this is important to keep your files up to date and in order.
Collaborative working features: having your team all working together in a streamlined manner will save you hours!
Support service: if you get stuck you need somewhere to go.
And then, of course, listen to the audit software provider’s advice; because who knows, their solution may just offer a useful feature that you hadn’t listed but in reality by adopting it you will be twice as efficient. The thought alone is exciting!
2. Is the audit software 100 per cent safe and reliable?
You need to double check that the solution you choose will please your clients: will their files and data be safe? Where will it all be stored? It is important to know which features are key requirements for you and which are nice to have. For example: does the software has a double authentication feature; this will protect your files and client details.
As well, check where the providers servers are hosted and their level of security, these simple verifications will reassure you and keep you and your clients mind at rest. Don’t forget, that a cloud package or full web service require a safe, consistent and reliable internet connection to allow you to access your data, whether that’s via a laptop, desktop or mobile device.
3. What do I do if I get stuck?
Imagine working on a big file with a tight deadline and getting stuck… With this in mind you need to check that the solution provider has a support service. Whether it’s a free or a paid service either by email or telephone it’s an essential. Even with the easiest of software, sometimes we all need a little help and advice.
4. How do I pay for the service?
Some services offer a pay by file method and others an annual subscription. Think about how many clients you have and thus the number of files and work out which method would work out the most cost-efficient for you. Not forgetting the ease of use and so forth, because as we all know: cheap doesn’t always mean better and vice versa as a matter of fact.
5. Don’t forget about the future
When investing in anything it’s always important to consider how you want to shape your future. Forgetting about this can be dangerous; how do you imagine your business tomorrow? Are your competitors leaving you behind? Investing in a software that is scalable and can grow with you is ideal and if they can support you along the way then you will save a lot of time and money. Most cloud-based software providers offer you the opportunity to propose modifications and enjoy listening to their clients.

Technophobia eases as more people use tech and build it
September 20, 2019, 1:54 p.m. EDT
https://www.accountingtoday.com/opinion/technophobia-eases-as-more-people-use-tech-and-build-it
Workers today have developed technophobia. Technology advances seemingly daily as more bots and artificial intelligence (AI) systems are showing up in the workplace.
But if history is any guide, technology can offer huge benefits on the job. Otherwise, accounting professionals like me would still be handwriting and manually calculating everything. Don’t get me wrong, I still enjoy writing handwritten letters, but I’m grateful to have the opportunity to hand off the more mundane and repetitive tasks to my bot counterparts so that I can focus on offering high-impact insights.
Bots are regularly used to pull invoices for monthly sales and use compliance and audit support. The leading tax compliance tools provide spreadsheet connectors to automate the importing and exporting of data.
The original concept of democratizing technologies focused on users. In offices, word processors, then PCs and the internet helped us produce, record, analyze, connect and learn. They increased our value and allowed us to broaden our horizons as workers.
Technologies like bots and AI — once considered the wheelhouse of computer scientists — are not only used by everyone today, but, most important, they are often built by domain experts instead of traditional computer experts. Today, we can all be computer programmers of sorts, combining functions to improve data and its analysis. As workers with a green belt in tech, we know how to build it and to augment our own capabilities and careers. This level of comfort moves the technology industry forward.
The democratization of technologies places increased value on domain knowledge as it increases our ability to perform our jobs. For example, tax is highly technical. In recent years, the tax industry has benefited tremendously from technology, but fear can become an obstacle. Tax pros who still believe technology is exclusively for the tech literati fear that overreliance on tech will replace their own value and possibly their careers. But as more tax professionals embrace technology advancements and treat bots as peers instead of a job threat, they see the value it brings to their careers.
History of tech meets tax:
The first spreadsheet computer program eliminated the need for sequential steps to reprogram each new calculation, so that one change in data instantly and automatically updated all related processes.
And in walks the tax man …
This killer app-turned-accounting tool, which combined formulaic calculating with graphics, truly democratized business tools on PCs.
The spreadsheet has become the leading accounting and tax software in the world today. Despite the rise in popularity of commercial tools for tax provisions, many companies still use spreadsheets to compute their tax provisions. With the recent significant changes in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, tax professionals turned to their old standby to model the implications of these changes without having to rely on IT.
New bots go beyond organizing and manipulating data through mathematical functions, and are able to analyze and communicate the implications with charts, graphs and plain English that everyone can understand. These days, tax domain users are becoming software “developers” to increase their own professional value.
Tech doesn’t lead to irrelevance — fear does. Ignoring the newest apps in hopes of controlling the value humans bring to the tax function just makes humans less capable. Being closed-minded to technology only hinders a tax practitioner’s capabilities in the future.
Within every industry, continuing to invest in one’s own education and professional development is key to staying relevant. Similarly, today’s tax professionals need to have a higher degree of technology knowledge in order to improve their tax performance. It’s essential for a tax professional to have an understanding of both tax and software systems to invent programs. The low barriers to entry for citizen developers to build applications has accelerated solution development in all industries, not just tax. Citizen developers such as myself are what Gartner calls “fundamental to digital transformation.”
Among more than 1,000 bots created by Ernst & Young LLP in the last couple of years, many that are used by the firm’s tax practice were initiated by a tax lawyer or CPA.
One class of AI tools finding application in finance and tax is document intelligence. Finance and tax professionals often need to extract key elements from unstructured documents, such as contracts, or semi-structured data such as invoices or tax forms.
Document intelligence tools are infused with AI and designed to be used by domain professionals regardless of a computer science or data science degree. The professionals review the documents and, by highlighting key fields and phrases on an initial document set, the machine learns what information needs to be extracted. The humans review the results extracted by the computer and then feed corrections back into the tool to improve its learning. Professionals spend less time on the routine data extraction and more time on the analysis of the results and making judgments.
Support from technology like this is gradually helping to shift workers from fearful to appreciative, as they spend more time focusing on the insights that provide value to clients. That higher value, in turn, increases how much they are appreciated. It’s a win-win, as soon as we get past the phobia.
