The rise in the adoption of audit software due to several benefits is notably driving the market growth, although factors such as entry barriers for small audit firms may impede the market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
The rise in the adoption of audit software due to several benefits is notably driving the market growth. The use of technology to conduct audits is growing in popularity among auditors due to benefits such as automating the audit process from planning and scheduling to documenting and generating reports. The growing acceptance of auditing software is also due to the growing importance of auditing in organizations dealing with regulations and standards.
When the audit process is performed in-house or by an auditor, it takes longer and requires more manual work and paperwork. Efforts taken by companies to improve audit efficiency and time to completion are driving the adoption of audit software. Auditing software allows companies to automate their data paths and consolidate all their business and financial documents in one place. Auditing software also has other benefits such as improved performance, time and cost savings, and increased efficiency. Additionally, audit software helps maintain the accuracy of the data collected during the audit process. The software also helps companies comply with national audit regulations. These advantages are expected to drive the growth of the global exam software market during the forecast period.
The emergence of audit software with predictive analytics is the key trend shaping the market. Audit software integrated with predictive analytics makes audit evidence more efficient, reliable, and relevant. Audits using predictive analytics can predict future outcomes based on data insights. To achieve high-quality audits, companies use digital tools to extract information and apply predictive analytics to generate patterns that align with planned outcomes and strategies. The use of predictive analytics also helps identify a company's financial risks and gain insight into its customers' businesses. By combining the generated customer data with market data, companies can gain a deeper understanding of their customer's business and identify deeper risks associated with their business.
Analytics also allows auditors to evaluate customer financial data to facilitate fraud detection. Analysis can establish links between an organization's financial structure and business processes and identify potential risk factors. Internal audits can also benefit from analytics, using more unstructured, non-financial information to control risk. Thus, the increasing adoption of analytics in audit software is expected to drive the growth of the global audit software market during the forecast period.
The entry barriers for small audit firms may impede the market growth. For small audit firms, deploying audit software integrated with advanced technologies such as AI, blockchain, and predictive analytics is a daunting task due to budget constraints and difficulties in recruiting and training staff. This is expected to limit the growth of the market during the forecast period. Auditing software is used to audit a company's sales and earnings. Therefore, software processes important business information.
Global companies primarily rely on large, established accounting firms for financial audits and audit advice. The global audit software market is dominated by four major accounting firms, namely Deloitte, KPMG, PwC, and EY. This is expected to limit opportunities for SMEs and hinder the adoption of audit software, which adversely affects the growth of the global audit software market during the forecast period.
The market report includes the adoption lifecycle of the market, covering from the innovator’s stage to the laggard’s stage. It focuses on adoption rates in different regions based on penetration. Furthermore, the report also includes key purchase criteria and drivers of price sensitivity to help companies evaluate and develop their growth strategies.
