Abstract. The tightened legal framework and technical evolution increase the relevance of effective Accounting Information Systems (AIS). In this context, researchers and practitioners predict the transition from traditional auditing to automated Continuous Auditing (CA). However, the organizational implementation of CA is still an unsolved problem in AIS research. To face this challenge, the authors of this paper used a Design Science Research (DSR) model considering the characteristics of CA. The proposed artifact in this paper is a gradual methodology which addresses general issues of CA implementation projects. The authors evaluate this artifact in an argumentatively descriptive way before stating limitations and giving an outlook on future research. Ultimately, the authors believe that the proposed methodology as well as the DSR approach for CA research contribute to the knowledge base and set the baseline for further investigations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
