Abstract

Este artículo es el resultado de la revisión sistemática de la literatura de contabilidad y de sistemas de información, enfocada en comprender los beneficios del uso de tecnologías digitales en el proceso de auditoría. A partir del objetivo, se planteó la pregunta de investigación que guió la presente revisión de literatura: ¿cuáles son los beneficios que trae el uso de tecnologías digitales de información al proceso de auditoría externa? La metodología utilizada consistió en la selección y el análisis de 50 documentos, extraídos de revistas de la base de datos de Scopus, de un total de 3649 artículos de investigación de 38 revistas diferentes. Así mismo se analizaron, para cada fase del proceso de auditoría, las principales tecnologías digitales emergentes relacionadas con el proceso de auditoría externa, tipos de metodologías y enfoques de los autores y, finalmente, resultados y hallazgos encontrados por los autores. La mayoría de los autores consultados coinciden en que las tecnologías digitales pueden cambiar el enfoque actual de la auditoría, al pasar de una revisión periódica a una continua y que el uso de las tecnologías digitales podría generar eficiencias y optimización en el proceso general de la auditoría.******This article is the result of the systematic revision of the accounting and information systems Literature, focused in including/understanding the benefits of the use of digital technologies in the audit process. Based on the objective, the research question that guided this literature review was posed: what are the benefits that the use of digital information technologies brings to the external audit process? The methodology used consisted in the selection and analysis of 50 documents, extracted from journals in the Scopus database, out of a total of 3,649 research articles from 38 different journals. Likewise, for each phase of the audit process, the main emerging digital technologies related to the external audit process, types of methodologies and approaches of the authors and, finally, results and findings found by the authors were analyzed. Most of the authors consulted agree that digital technologies can change the current focus of the audit, going from a periodic review to an ongoing one and that the use of digital technologies could generate efficiencies and optimization in the general audit process.******Este artigo é resultado da revisao sistemática da literatura de contabilidade e de sistemas de informacao, focada em compreender os benefícios do uso de tecnologias digitais no processo de auditoria.
