Abstract

This paper discusses the application and challenges of modern technology in enhancing internal audit capabilities. With the development of information technology, big data, artificial intelligence, cloud computing and other technologies bring new opportunities for internal audit, but also face many challenges. Issues such as the balance between technology investment and cost control, the matching of technology update and auditor's ability, and the integration of technology and process need to be solved. Through the review of related research, the article points out that enterprises should choose appropriate technology solutions according to their own situation and adopt cost-effective strategies to reasonably plan resource input. At the same time, it is necessary to improve the technical ability and quality of auditors, optimise the application of technology, and ensure the compatibility of technical systems. In addition, it is necessary to explore new modes and methods for the integration of technology and auditing. By addressing these challenges, enterprises can make better use of modern technology to enhance their internal audit capabilities and provide strong support for enterprise development.
