Abstract

<p>This paper showcases how JCAATs, an AI audit Software, can facilitate a smart auditing approach using General Ledger data compliant with the Audit Data Standards introduced by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). We begin with an overview of the Audit Data Standards by the AICPA, followed by an exploration of the necessity for a smart auditing approach. Utilizing JCAATs, we demonstrate a smart auditing process for General Ledger accuracy testing to verify the correctness of amounts in the general ledger accounts, ensuring alignment with description and source documents.</p>
