Key Factors for Successful Implementation of Digital Tools in the Audit Process : A Qualitative Study from the Auditor's Perspective (English)
Abstract [sv]

Syfte: Syftet med denna uppsats är att förstå den enskilda revisorns upplevelser vid implementering och användning av digitala verktyg i revisionsprocessen. Detta innefattar att förstå vilka faktorer som påverkar revisorns förutsättningar, inställningar, beteenden och eventuella motstånd. Genom detta skapas en förståelse för vilka faktorer som kan främja eller hindra en framgångsrik adoption av digitala verktyg bland revisorer. 

Problemformulering: Vilka faktorer påverkar den enskilda revisorns användning av digitala verktyg? 

Metod: Denna studie har en kvalitativ metod med abduktiv forskningsansats. Tio semistrukturerade intervjuer har genomförts med auktoriserade revisorer. Intervjufrågorna konstruerades med bakgrund i den teoretiska referensramen.

Slutsats: Studien finner att attityd, förväntningar, användarvänlighet, arbetsbelastning, företagskultur och tillgängliga resurser är de viktigaste faktorerna som påverkar revisorns användning av digitala verktyg i revisionsprocessen. Studien påvisar även att det finns ett glapp mellan teknikutvecklare och revisorer, där verktygen inte anpassas efter revisorns behov vilket påverkar deras användning av dessa verktyg.

Abstract [en]

Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to understand the individual auditor's experiences during the implementation and use of digital tools in the audit process. This includes understanding the factors that affect the auditor's conditions, attitudes, behaviors, and potential resistance. Through this, an understanding is created of the factors that can promote or hinder successful adoption of digital tools among auditors.

Research Question: What factors influence an individual auditor's use of digital tools?

Method: This study employs a qualitative method with an abductive research approach. Ten semi-structured interviews were conducted with certified auditors. The interview questions were constructed based on the theoretical framework.

Conclusion: The study finds that attitude, expectations, user-friendliness, workload, corporate culture, and available resources are the most important factors that influence the auditor's use of digital tools in the audit process. The study also shows that there is a gap between technology developers and auditors, where the tools are not tailored to the auditor's needs, which affects their use of these tools.
