The 2nd International Conference on Auditing and Artificial Intelligence invites scholars, researchers, and industry experts (in the fields of: artificial intelligence (AI), data analytics, accounting information systems (AIS), accounting, and auditing) from across the globe to engage in a thought-provoking exchange on the intersection of AI and auditing. As AI technologies continue to advance, their integration into auditing practices is transforming the profession, introducing both unique opportunities and new challenges. The conference organizers seek original research that not only explores AI’s impact on audit methodologies but also examines its real-world adoption, regulatory implications, opportunities, and risks.

Selected papers accepted for conference presentation may be considered for publication in the Journal of Information Systems (JIS).
