K10 Vision Reveals Early Results from Global Annual Audit Technology Survey

Technology Advances Set to Revolutionize Audit Teams’ Capabilities and Impact

K10 Vision, a leading provider of next-generation AI-enabled Audit and Risk Management software, released preliminary insights from its Audit and Risk Technology Survey 2025 (ARTS25). Drawing on conversations with over 130 audit and risk teams across the globe that are not yet using K10 Vision, the early findings highlight widespread dissatisfaction with existing legacy systems and a strong appetite for more intelligent, AI-driven tools.

While the full report will be published later this year, several clear trends have already emerged:

• Technology remains underutilized – Over 70% of audit teams currently using audit tools admit that they are primarily used as glorified document repositories rather than working directly in the system to leverage improved workflows and learning based on real-time management information.

• Automation is lagging – Only 27% of teams automatically generate their audit reports directly from their current systems, and less than 12% feel they gain genuine benefit from their current dashboards.

• Shift toward new platforms – 68% of respondents expect to consider adopting new technology within the next 3 years, with the primary driver being a desire to move to more modern, AI-enabled solutions.

• Decline in system loyalty – A full 83% say they expect to reassess their technology stack within the next 5 years, signaling a significant shift away from older legacy systems and a decline in vendor loyalty.

• On-premise systems persist – Despite the cloud transition, on-premise deployments still account for over 30% of the market in many regions.

• AI adoption remains limited – Less than 10% of teams report significant adoption of AI functionality within their audit processes.

• Price sensitivity is high – Cost remains a critical decision factor, with many citing price as a “Significant” or higher consideration when choosing or replacing technology.
