High Digital Competence and the Market’s Leading Audit Tools

At BDO, we combine deep audit expertise with the power of technology and data. This results in a streamlined process that delivers greater insight, higher quality, and a stronger foundation for decision-making.

With a large technology team, we harness the opportunities of digitalisation to make auditing more relevant and reduce the burden on you as a client. You don’t just get an auditor – you gain a collaborative partner who understands both the numbers and the technology behind them.

Targeted Innovation

At BDO, we pursue innovation and digital investment with clear intent.

This forms the foundation that ensures our audit remains relevant, efficient, and valuable. We develop and adopt the best digital tools, and utilise advanced technology that delivers high quality without increasing complexity for you as a client.

Our innovative strength lies in the unique collaboration between auditors and technology experts, where new solutions are developed with a clear goal: To make auditing smarter, more precise, and more value-creating.

Deep Technological Understanding

At BDO, you meet auditors who understand technology and know how to use it to deliver greater value. Our teams are well trained in both auditing and technology, and we build on the investments you have already made in automation within your IT systems.

In addition to strong technological insight, we have IT auditors to provide solid support when needed. These specialists are CISA-certified by the international organisation ISACA and support our auditors when working with particularly complex clients.

Our understanding of accounting technology provides you, as a client, with added value, as we can also be a relevant sparring partner when it comes to the smart use of technology in your business.

Technology That Creates Value

At BDO, we combine the market’s leading digital tools with tailored technological solutions to provide you with greater insight and less administration.

By integrating BDO’s data and analytics platform, Heartbeat, with your financial system, we become part of your digital ecosystem. We are industry heavyweights in auditing and offer what may be Norway’s very best solutions for data capture and processing.

For you, this means smoother processes, fewer manual tasks, and reduced administrative burden. The result is an audit that fits seamlessly into your business with minimal disruption.

We recognise that every business is unique, and when standard solutions fall short, we integrate developers directly into the audit team to create customised solutions for your specific business.

With the help of artificial intelligence, we streamline analysis and data processing while automating audit procedures – all to ensure an audit that delivers high quality and insights you can truly benefit from.

Data-Driven Auditing

At BDO, we use advanced technology to analyse large volumes of data as a natural part of the audit process. Instead of relying on traditional sampling methods, we analyse the entire dataset—not only to detect discrepancies, but to identify patterns and trends worth discussing. This gives us deeper insight into your processes and figures, and a far stronger basis for assessing risk and uncovering irregularities.

For you as a client, this means an auditor who is more accurate and who has a solid data foundation—both when asking questions and when discussing opportunities for improvement. In this way, we contribute more than figures and requirements—we provide insights that make a difference.

Large Technology Environment at BDO

In addition to a digital and efficient audit, we have a large technology environment behind us. This means that BDO can support you with more than just figures and reports. When needed, we bring in experts in areas ranging from artificial intelligence and digitalisation to compliance and data security.

For you as a client, this means easy access to deep professional expertise and clear answers—without detours.

Our Principles for Your Peace of Mind

As auditors, we possess strong expertise in technology and, of course, a thorough understanding of the laws and regulations that apply when handling and analysing our clients’ data.

Trust is the very foundation of our business, and we have established clear structures for governance and control to ensure that we act in accordance with BDO’s ethical standards and your expectations of us.

Our processes are rooted in applicable regulations and best practices, including requirements for data protection (GDPR) and information security. In addition, we operate in line with BDO’s principles for the responsible use of artificial intelligence. That’s why you can be confident that even though we use AI in our audits, your data is safe with us.

With BDO, you get an auditor who understands the interplay between technology and regulation, and who delivers with high integrity.
