One of the requirements of CA is that the auditor should have authorized access to the client’s system. That access is a must to allow the auditor to accumulate the required evidence using some tools embedded within the client’s system. Within CA environment, the auditor can take part in the development processes of the client’s systems; however, this may violate the independence concept. Furthermore, the materiality concept also needs to be considered based on the dollar value of the misstatements found in the financial statements. However, within CA environment, which mainly depends on providing assurance in the information systems, such concept may be inapplicable (Gal, 2008). Hence, accounting and auditing regulatory bodies need to provide guidelines that help resolve these issues for the potential of CA to be recognized and fulfilled. The standard setting bodies need to develop a set of electronic auditing standards as a mean to cope with CA environment. Such standards should address issues that are related to real-time accounting systems and CA including valuation, revenue recognition and audit procedures.
