October 10, 2013, i was asked to speak at the Accouting Insight event; Future Changing Role of the Auditor. Two limitations. Other speakers talked about technology and education.So i focussed on the question; does our 'role' change? I dont think so. We are (we should), we will, that trusted advisor, serving the society with an independent and objective view by providing assurance (trust). Lets start improving that role instead of thinking about changing it.

My observation:It’s early 2013… changes (including the mindset) are moving slowly, the battery is running low…

We do have a beautiful profession! Let’s make small steps... We can’t change the audit profession or role with a big bang..

COMMUNICATION, BEHAVIOUR, MINDSET, TRAINING, TOP GUN QUALITY, EDUCATION

WAYS TO INNOVATE:

PRODUCT INNOVATION

SOCIAL INNOVATION

QUALITY INNOVATION

BUSINESS MODEL INNOVATION

TECHNOLOGY INNOVATION

WANT TO CHANGE!From negative motivation to posi t ive mot ivat ion

WHAT WE NEED TO DO:

Alright, it’s difficult...

“ ” I ta lways seems

impossible until i t ' s

done.“Nelson

Mandela

WE NEED TO START LISTENING AND WORKING TOGETHER!C R E AT I N G N E W B U S I N E S S M O D E L S T O G E T H E R .

We need to want to l ea rn and improve our sk i l l se t .

Not like this!

Understanding how the world is looking at us; start listening, connecting and sharing!

Here we go! Think about Hans Verkruijssen. OUT OF THE BOX!

IT’S ALL ABOUT OUR VALUE PROPOSITON

The essence of the added value that connects auditors and customers. The existence of auditing firms.

Trying to stop time and opposing change is useless. Now is the time to embrace changea nd s t a y ahea d o f t ime !

BUT LIKE THIS

NOT LIKE THIS

MAYBE LIKE THIS…

Will we let the curtain fall by nationalization of the

profession, or do we remain the confidant of society?

DISCUSSION

Considering the current ‘Quality level’ of AUDITING in general; shouldn’t we be focusing on improving audit quality (through technology), rather than considering a shift to an advisory role?

Should we establish TOP GUN audit engagements teams based on the best and smartest auditors per segment / sector working for individual audit firms? Should we ‘spread’ the independence issue and guarantee best class audit performance?

To change our role, should we innovate the business model first by implementing a maximum partner income of X and a % of gross margin that needs to be spent on training, talent programs and innovation?
