Market Dynamics

Drivers

Increasing demand for corporate governance

The market is driven by the increasing demand for corporate governance, regulatory requirements and compliance, and the need to improve the operational efficiency of the organizations. Corporate governance malpractices have been on the rise across the globe in the last few years. For example, Nissan's recent financial mismanagement has raised concerns about the lack of corporate governance practices prevalent in the company. Another highly publicized corporate governance infraction involved Kobe Steel, Ltd. The company confirmed that it had falsified data on some products sold to buyers, such as Boeing, Ford, and Toyota. Mitsubishi Materials, a giant in the manufacturing industry, also admitted to forging data on auto and aircraft parts sold to more than 274 clients.

Increasing adoption of cloud-based services

The growing adoption of cloud-based services and the integration of various technologies like machine learning and artificial intelligence with audit software make it possible to provide multiple features, such as high-quality reports and improved accuracy. These factors are predicted to provide lucrative growth opportunities for players operating in the global audit software market during the forecast period.

Restraints

Data security concerns

The use of audit software can increase the vulnerability of confidential information to data theft as the software manages the organization's sensitive financial data. Data security issues are, therefore, expected to reduce the growth of the market during the forecast period.
