This partnership builds on a momentum already well underway since 2021 between the two experts. AuditBoard, present in over 30 countries worldwide, has established itself as a leading player in the intelligent automation of auditing processes. Deloitte, for its part, employs over 450,000 people in 150 countries. The firm, founded in 1845, is contributing its cutting-edge expertise to the deployment of AuditBoard in Germany.
The partnership takes another step forward with the launch of a Deloitte Center of Excellence in Germany, designed to support AuditBoard deployments throughout the country. This center will mobilize a certified team, trained to provide customers with training, resources and strategic advice, tailored to the specific challenges of the German market.
Capitalizing on the complementary nature of Deloitte's sector expertise and AuditBoard's technological power, the two players intend to accelerate the digital transformation of the country's audit and compliance functions, thanks to AuditBoard AI technology. This artificial intelligence frees teams from time-consuming manual tasks, enabling them to concentrate on higher-value issues. This technological advance has been hailed by major industrial groups such as ArcelorMittal, whose Senior IT Manager, Andrew van Lelyveld, describes how the platform has "modernized the control environment" of his company.
This initiative responds to a persistent problem in Germany: the lack of opportunities to digitalize audit processes. Indeed, according to a recent survey of 232 internal audit managers in Germany, 66% of companies still manage their audit planning manually, and two-thirds produce reports without full automation. These time- and energy-consuming practices hamper the agility of organizations in the face of emerging risks, and limit the accuracy of analyses transmitted to management.
