First things first
• What you are doing is very important;
• And it should be done more often - technology can help us get there, but it cannot be everything.
Lessons in Working with Auditors
• Mobile is challenging - redundancy and reliability;
• Digital and paper are not the same thing - think by analogy;
• Digital requires a different way of thinking.

How Auditors do it now
• 70% still use pen and paper;
• Most companies use their own list of audit requirements;
• Many use their memory to verify.
What they love
• Straight to report - 60% time saving
• Capture of evidence (photos, video, audio)
• Time stamp on data
• Big phones or small tablets
• Dictate notes;
What they dislike
• Rigidity to audit item order;
• Rigidity to audit item terminology;
• Pre-built audit report formatting;
• Need to adopt a structure that is not their own.
Key Technology That is Still Missing
• Merge and de-merge audit protocols;
• Rapidly add and remove requirements;
• Rapidly search and identify requirements;
• Ability auto-filter audit questions based on operations.
Still too much manual work.
Getting There
• Transfer Knowledge;
• Document, Document, Document;
• In a format that can be updated - City of Edmonton;
• Work with new auditors to test tools and integrated knowledge.
What’s next?
• Auto-Filters based on Operations
• Smart Suggestions
• Standing in an excavation pit :
• What do I need to look for?
• If I found this issue, what else is likely to be an issue?;
• Constant contact with clients - not just a report;
• Ultimately…. Artificial Intelligence
• Leverage computers for what they are good at;
• Ensure interface is user friendly;
• Auditors need to make a judgement call.
Qualitative vs. Quantitative
• Efficiency always wins;
• Companies that successfully integrated mobile technology will be more competitive;
• Move away from billable hour (see Legal World);
• Don’t underestimate technology.
