Authors : Douak Samira . Hamidi Aissa .

Abstract

The study aims to identify the reality of applying artificial intelligence techniques in Algeria's audit profession. The study employed a descriptive and analytical approach. In addition, the statistical software SPSS was utilized to address research inquiries and evaluate hypotheses. The researchers conducted their field study using a questionnaire. The questionnaire was delivered to a sample of statutory auditors in Algeria, with 80 questionnaires distributed and 61 questionnaires collected.The study concluded that auditors are aware of the concept and importance of artificial intelligence, in contrast to the risks of using artificial intelligence in auditing. They do not know the latter nor of ways to overcome the risks of using artificial intelligence. As for the application of artificial intelligence techniques, the study concluded that auditors in Algeria do not apply artificial intelligence techniques in the auditing process despite the positive perceptions that auditors have about the role of artificial intelligence in the auditing process. Finally, the application of artificial intelligence in the auditing profession still faces many challenges that prevent its application.
