Hey all! My name is Rocío Parra. I'm from Mendoza, Argentina. A year ago, I finished my degree in Accountancy and, until now, I have worked in audit. Currently, I work as a Junior Auditor at Lisicki Litvin & Asociados. My primary responsibilities involve developing substantive and analytical procedures to gather appropriate audit evidence that supports the expressed opinion on the financial statements as a whole.
As I mentioned before, my main responsibility is to gather supporting audit evidence. This evidence is obtained through information provided by the client and third parties. However, collecting this is often time-consuming due to its extensive nature. Furthermore, the task is entirely manual.
This situation has prompted me to reevaluate my approach to performing my tasks. I believe that I should go beyond surveying and reconciling balances and, instead, devote more time to conducting in-depth analyses. By doing so, I enhance the quality of the audit and provide added value to clients.
As I looked deep into my work, I noticed some important things. Some tasks that could be standardized kept repeating and information that had a similar format regardless of the client. So I explored new ways of working with technology.
One platform that really made a difference was DataSnipper. It helped me quickly go through large samples and standardize procedures. With this change, I achieved what I wanted: being more efficient and adding more value.
I'd also like to mention that DataSnipper wasn't just useful for auditing. It also came in handy for other areas in my company.
