A team from the University of Arizona and its Eller College of Management took home first place in the 2018 National Audit Innovation Campus Challenge, held by Deloitte. The winning submission centered on a “recommendation to enter the market of auditing corporate sustainability reports in anticipation of potential regulatory guidance” in the near future, and included ways to improve internal audits with the use of artificial intelligence.
The annual challenge invites students and faculty members from across the country to test their skills in real-world scenarios, asking them to apply their analytics skills to complex problems. This year, students were asked to present innovative ways of bringing audit and assurance services to the marketplace via technology.
