Audit framework for control Robotic Process Automation projects

Abstract

This study aims to review existing literature on audits within the technological domain, with a specific focus on Robotic Process Automation (RPA), in order to develop a framework tailored to the RPA technology lifecycle for effective audit control. The methodology involves a systematic review of pertinent literature sourced from academic and scientific databases, followed by an analysis to identify gaps. A proposed framework, aligned with the RPA technology lifecycle, integrates essential criteria for conducting audits focused on RPA project control, thereby addressing identified deficiencies. The results of this synthesis highlight areas for further investigation and the development of a comprehensive framework that caters to the specific needs of RPA projects. In conclusion, this research consolidates pertinent findings from the literature review and introduces a novel framework aligned with the RPA technology lifecycle, integrating crucial audit criteria. The ultimate goal is to bridge research gaps and offer practical guidance to RPA technology users, thereby enhancing project control and performance.
