Abstract
There have been doubts around the added value and relevance of (internal) audit. There have been question marks as to whether that profession truly focuses on what matters most. How can we make it better? How can we make (internal) audit an even greater success in the eyes of its customers and stakeholders, too? In the digital age, more than ever, there is nothing as constant as change. It is time to revolutionize the audit. Process Mining has the potential to revolutionize (internal) audit. Let your data speak to drive learning and change.
