Abstract
Дослідження спрямоване на визначення розміру глобального ринку аудиторської
діяльності, що формується під впливом сьогоденних викликів. Автори визначили
розмір глобального ринку аудиторської діяльності у 2020 р., простежили динаміку зміни
доходів компаній Великої четвірки за 2015–2020 рр. та спрогнозували дохід досліджуваних компаній на 2021 р. Визначено частку доходів від аудиторської діяльності у
загальній структурі доходів кожної із компаній та графічно відображено структуру
доходів компаній Великої четвірки за видами діяльності за 2019–2020 рр.
Карантинні заходи, запроваджені у всьому світі, спонукали компанії Великої
четвірки до пошуку нових можливостей, тому автори розробили SWOT-аналіз, який дає
змогу визначити сильні та слабкі сторони кожної із компаній, а також можливості та
загрози зовнішнього середовища. Врахування негативних наслідків кризи, спричиненої
Covid-19, дало змогу з’ясувати, чи перспективи для розвитку аудиторських компаній
все ж великі. З огляду на це автори узагальнили основні тенденції на ринку глобального
ринку аудиторської діяльності.

Covering automation and digital technologies such as research analytics, automated control testing, robotic process automation, and continuous risk assessment, auditing can forget about repetitive manual tasks and free up time for more value-added activities. As long as the Covid-19 pandemic continues, the changes caused by the pandemic will be felt for a long time. The experience of auditors in the field of risk management will continue to grow, as all companies will adapt to this new rule. However, despite budget cuts, new audit processes, and custom work, auditors will continue to be reliable business consultants and help companies thrive even in the face of growing threats and an uncertain future.
