Abstract

The term “machine learning” has become a buzzword in the past few years. In accounting and auditing area, while this technology has been used in major accounting firms such as Big 4 s, its research is still evolving. Increased use of machine learning and other artificial intelligence techniques will allow accountants to focus on providing better decision support instead of on data gathering and manual analyses. This chapter introduces machine learning as compared to traditional statistical modeling, discusses its current applications in accounting and auditing research, and provides directions for future research.
