    (СДУ хабаршысы - 2022, 2022) Toktar D. ; Coban U.
    Abstract. Robotic process automation (RPA) has been widely adopted in many industries as a tool, which does repetitive actions in rule-based business processes. Audit companies around the world are always on the way to making processes more efficient with help of automation and RPA is not an exception. However, there are always two sides of the coin, and there are both benefits and limitations of using RPA. Using RPA may be not efficient in some circumstances, so it is important to understand in what cases using RPA will bring more advantages than disadvantages. The main purpose of this study is to understand the conditions under which adopting the Robotic Process Automation Systems will influence the operational efficiency in the audit firms in Kazakhstan. Because the main purpose of the study is to understand the challenges and opportunities of applying RPA, a qualitative approach has been selected. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with five specialists in the audit sector. After transcribing the interview conversations, a thematic analysis method resulted in 47 open-codes. In the analysis part was discussed some tendencies, opportunities, and barriers of effective implementation of RPA.
