Abstract

The objective was to present the development, evolution and impact of Computer Assisted Audit Techniques (CAAT) and in particular the Generalized Audit Software (GAS) in the audit process of the Peruvian tax administration entity, the National Superintendence of Customs and Tax Administration (SUNAT) 2024. The information treatment process on the electronic books executed by the tax administration was reviewed, and proposals were made to apply CAAT-GAS to other areas such as external financial auditing, internal auditing or internal control, government auditing and forensic accounting. It is proposed the execution of automated routines and robotic processes in the tax administration entity on the processes of information analysis in the electronic books. In turn, it is recommended that the algorithms be updated and audited regularly so that they respond to the demands of a changing tax practice according to reality. The study contributes to the knowledge of CAAT-GAS applied in Peru and its potential in the control of tax compliance, tax evasion, white collar crimes and fraud.
