Abstract

The study examines the influence of digitalization on the operational performance of the audit service of Ghana. The study relied on quantitative method in which multiple regression was employed. Purposive sampling was employed to obtain a sample size of 120. The findings of the study revealed that digitalization significantly enhances the accuracy of audit processes, the volume of work handled, and the adherence to timelines within audit services. The adoption of digital tools is expected to streamline audit processes and reduce the time required for data collection, analysis, and reporting.
