Robotic Process Automation in Use: Strategic Orientation - Practical Implementation - Audit-Proof Implementation

For some years now, the automation of any number of processes and process steps using RPA technology has been keeping the financial sector busy. It has now become an integral part of everyday life in many business areas. How does the technology work, who is responsible and what are the risks of using it in your own bank?

This book answers these and many related questions about RPA, which are asked in particular by internal and external auditors, but also by decision-makers. In addition to an introduction to the technology and its classification in a broad, strategic context, the topic of the correct ＂auditing and assessment＂ of the technology is discussed.
