Abstract

Abstract In response to recent high-profile accounting scandals, the auditing sector is undergoing a critical review of practices. Despite regulatory changes and technological advancements, doubts persist about auditors' effectiveness in identifying financial statement fraud. This article advocates for a paradigm shift in auditors' skillsets, especially amid challenges posed by remote and hybrid work scenarios.
