Background of the Study
Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the auditing landscape by enabling more efficient fraud detection through predictive analytics, anomaly detection, and automation of repetitive tasks. AI systems can process vast amounts of data in real-time, identifying irregularities that may indicate fraud (Adebayo & Oladipo, 2023).
In Nigeria, Deloitte has been a leader in adopting AI-driven audit solutions to address the increasing complexity of financial fraud. This study investigates the role of AI in enhancing fraud detection during audits conducted by Deloitte Nigeria, highlighting its benefits, challenges, and implications for the auditing profession.
