Implementation Process and Training

The journey began with a trial phase, during which Berney Associés provided comprehensive training to their auditors. While there was some initial resistance to adopting new technology, the intuitive design of Financial Statement Suite and the comprehensive support from DataSnipper’s Customer Success team helped overcome these barriers and ensured a smooth transition. Auditors quickly realized the potential of the tool, leading to strong user adoption post-trial.

Key resources such as DataSnipper’s Knowledge Base, step-by-step tutorial videos, and ongoing support from their Customer Success team played a crucial role in enabling Berney Associés to fully integrate DataSnipper into their existing workflows. This robust implementation process laid the foundation for achieving their goal of improving audit quality and efficiency.

Impact

Accelerated Review Processes

The introduction of Financial Statement Suite has been a game-changer for Berney Associés. Prior to adopting Financial Statement Suite, reviewing a single 10-page financial statement would take 30-45 minutes. Now, with Financial Statement Suite, the same task is completed in just 15 minutes—a time saving of approximately 50%. Across 100 audits, this equates to saving nearly three days of work, allowing auditors to allocate more time to higher-value tasks.

Automating Calculations with Mathematical Accuracy

Berney Associés leveraged the Mathematical Accuracy feature in Financial Statement Suite to eliminate manual validation of figures in financial statements. This feature automatically identifies errors and ensures the correctness of numbers with just a few clicks, significantly reducing the need for manual cross-checking. By automating these time-consuming processes, the team not only saved valuable time but also improved the overall precision and reliability of their audit documentation.

Improved Accuracy with Version Compare

DataSnipper’s automation features have empowered Berney Associés auditors to approach their work with greater confidence. With the Version Compare feature, auditors can track any changes made between versions, reducing the likelihood of errors and improving their confidence in the quality of their work. By automating this once-manual task, the firm has strengthened its ability to ensure compliance and maintain high-quality documentation.

By embracing innovation and leveraging DataSnipper’s advanced features, Berney Associés has successfully enhanced the efficiency and quality of their audit processes. The significant time savings, coupled with improved accuracy and compliance, underscore the value of adopting automation in the audit industry.
