In my last post, I described Why Internal Auditors Should Care about Robotic Process Automation.
In this post, I’ll explore whether RPA can replace analytic packages like ACL, IDEA, R, and Power BI.
That might seem like a strange question, but a few managers and a VP have asked me just that recently. Here’s how I’ve answered it.

What is Robotics Process Automation (RPA) and why should internal auditors care about it?
RPA is software that imitates human interaction with computer systems to accomplish tasks.
RPA can log into multiple systems, navigate through user interfaces or command line functions to add, update, or download data, create tickets, place orders, or basically anything else a human can do.
Except think (and some vendors would disagree with that).
