EUROSAI Seminar on Application of Software Tools in Audit
On September 18–20, 2012, an international Seminar on Application of Software Tools in Audits took place in Prague. The training event was hosted by the Supreme Audit Office of the Czech Republic (SAO), under the auspices of EUROSAI.
The seminar was attended by some 70 delegates from 26 European supreme audit institutions and from the European Court of Auditors. Representatives from the international organisation ASOSAI (Asian Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions), which is one of the Regional Groups of the International Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions (INTOSAI), attended the seminar as observers. Among the main topics of the seminar were purchasing, implementation, and operation of information technologies for managing and evaluating the audits in practice and the use of data processing tools (CAATs) during audits.
During the seminar, the participants had the opportunity to compare positions, methods and results of supreme audit institutions in the field of software tools application (Audit Management System) during the audits as well as exchange ideas and provide information regarding the use of CAATs in audits.
