Using Artificial Intelligence in Continuous Auditing of Enterprise Resource Planning

Year 2017, Volume: 9 Issue: 1, 1 - 12, 31.01.2017

Abstract








In these days, there are an intense competition among enterprises, this linked with the understanding of the change in corporate
governance requirements which necessitate the monitoring and tracking of the technological developments and the importance
of integration with these development. This change improve the direction of the increasing in the effectiveness and efficiency of
auditing activities. In this regard, taking a businesses decisions and supporting decision-making mechanisms are directly
related to the credibility and objectivity of the financial information produced. Because of changing in business environment,
the accounting scandals, and the requirement of regulations and corporate governance, it is important to adopt technology
systems such as, ERP, e-commerce, e-business, e-government in the business environment. These developments will enhance
the storage and verification of information on the digital platform and increase the importance of continuous auditing of
information systems. ERP systems are integrated systems where information is gathered together in the database and
continuously processed in electronic environment. Therefore, by using the digital tools, both the effectiveness of the internal
control system and the continuous auditing of the ERP systems have become one of the critical issues. At the same time, the use
of intelligent technologies, learning machines, which are called artificial intelligence, has begun to increase, as well as the place
and the importance of continuous auditing over the auditing of ERP systems. The level of reached technology and the control
techniques are shaped accordingly and have also differentiated control processes and diversified applications. This study will
focus on the need for continuous auduting of ERP systems and the contribution of artificial intelligence systems in the overall
auditing environment.

Kurumsal Kaynak Planlaması (Enterprise Resource Planning ERP) Sistemlerinin Sürekli Denetimde Yapay Zeka Kullanımı

Year 2017, Volume: 9 Issue: 1, 1 - 12, 31.01.2017

Abstract








Günümüzde işletmeler arasında yaşanan yoğun ve amansız rekabet ve buna bağlı olarak kurumsal yönetim anlayışındaki
değişiklikler, teknolojik gelişmelerin
izlenmesini ve bu teknolojiler ile bütünleşmeyi zorunlu kılmaktadır. Bu anlayış değişikliği,
denetimin kurumsal faaliyetlerin etkinliğini ve verimliliğini artırıcı yönünü öne çıkarmıştır.
Bu kapsamda, işletmeler açısından
önemli kararların alınması ve karar verme mekanizmalarının desteklenmesi, üretilen finansal bilgilerin doğruluğu ve
güvenilirliği ile doğrudan ilişkilidir. Dünya çapında yaşanan muhasebe skandalları ve bu skandalların önlenmesine yönelik
yasal düzenlemeler ve kurumsal yönetim anlayışı,
ERP, e- ticaret, e-işletme, e-devler gibi bilgi teknolojilerindeki sürekli değişim
bilgi kullanıcılarının bilgiyi anlık olarak doğrulama gereksinimini zorunlu kılmıştır. Bu gelişmeler çerçevesinde bilgilerin dijital
platformda saklanması ve doğrulanması bilgi sistemlerinin sürekli denetiminin önemini arttırmıştır. Söz konusu bilgilerin veri
tabanında bir arada toplandığı ve elektronik ortamda sürekli işlendiği bütünleşik sistemler ise ERP sistemleri olmuştur.
Dolayısıyla, gerek dijital araçların yardımıyla gerek iç kontrol sisteminin etkinliğiyle birlikte
ERP sistemlerinin de sürekli
denetimi kritik konulardan biri haline gelmiştir. Gelinen noktada, ERP sistemlerinin denetiminde sürekli denetimin yeri ve
öneminin artmasının yanında, yapay zekâ olarak adlandırılan akıllı teknolojilerin, öğrenen makinelerin kullanımı da artmaya
başlamıştır. Teknolojinin ulaştığı seviye ve denetim tekniklerinin buna göre şekillenmesi ise, kontrol süreçlerini de
farklılaştırmış ve uygulamaları çeşitlendirmiştir. Bu çalışmada, ERP sistemlerinin sürekli denetimine duyulan gereksinim ve bu
gereksinim çerçevesinde kullanılan araçlardan biri olan yapay zeka sistemlerinin katkısı üzerinde durulmuştur.
