Audimation Services has been acquired by Caseware International Learn More.
Thank you to everyone for making it a success, including our attendees, esteemed speakers, and the Audimation and CaseWare teams behind the scenes that made all of this possible!
The 2-day conference featured 40+ notable industry speakers, 38 sessions, 6 main field of studies spread across 4 learning tracks, a virtual reception, a user group meeting, and an exhibit hall with booths that linked to some great resources with live representatives. We also had a virtual interactive lobby, helpdesk, and auditorium that linked to zoom webinars/meetings for each of the sessions. We were amazed that we were able to award well over 1,735 CPE credit hours to our attendees and can’t wait to hear the impact it has in the months and year to follow.
We had no idea what to expect when we were forced to move from our traditionally in-person event to our first fully virtual experience. With most events being canceled or also becoming virtual throughout the summer, we had lucked out with experienced attendees who were eager to obtain the fresh perspectives and the latest in technology developments and process improvements, regardless of the disruption of conventional networking opportunities. Many organizations sent their entire team as upskilling and proficiency in data analytics has become a priority.
The true value you get from a conference is the insight you obtain to solve specific challenges within your organization, how to automate your tedious workflows saving significant time, or how to catch human errors and fraud to greatly reduce risks and improve profitability. “We gauge our success on whether attendees are able to immediately incorporate lessons learned to streamline internal operations or drive excitement for data analytics solutions amongst their leadership.” said Carolyn Newman, President – Audimation.
When asked what is a key takeaway or item that you learned from sessions at IUC 2020, attendees responded that they discovered “I was merely scratching surface of IDEA’s core capabilities.” Others mentioned how the landscape of auditors was evolving stating “The new generation of CAEs think more broadly, they are much more focused on tech for Audit Process Improvement and are more concerned with the health and strategic growth of the business”.
We hope everyone was able to obtain valuable insights from industry experts and were inspired to expand your usage and reach with IDEA. If you have any questions regarding IUC 2020 or have recommendations for speakers for IUC 2022, please reach out to our team via [email protected] and we will follow up!
If you were able to attend this year, we’d love to hear from you! Your feedback helps us continuously improve and add increased value to you and your organization. Complete the IUC 2020 Survey
