PwC, a leader in professional services, sought to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of their ITGC auditing services. By partnering with Scytale, they leveraged automation to streamline audits, ensure comprehensive population coverage, and boost client confidence.
PwC Israel, a global provider of audit, tax, and advisory services, faced challenges in improving the efficiency of their ITGC audits. Lior Mistriel, partner at PwC and head of digital audit, identified two key issues with traditional manual audits.
First, the heavy workload of manual audits, especially for large companies with high employee turnover, made audits time-consuming and resource-draining.
Second, CFOs, responsible for signing off on audits, relied on the accuracy of IT audit teams, but manual audits often covered only a small fraction of the population, leading to potential undetected deficiencies and incomplete assessments.
To address these challenges, PwC Israel turned to Scytale, exploring how automation could strengthen and streamline ITGC audit processes. Scytale worked closely with PwC to tailor solutions specific to each advisory partner, with a focus on creating a more efficient and reliable audit experience.
