Case Study: Cherry Bekaert achieves audit efficiency gains with DataSnipper

Gamifying DataSnipper to create efficiency gains via intelligent automation

Cherry Bekaert, a major audit and advisory firm, sought to enhance its audit processes and improve communication between its US-based reviewers and preparers in India. The challenge involved reducing delays caused by time zone differences and manual verification tasks, while also accelerating the professional development of their associates. To address this, they turned to the DataSnipper platform.

DataSnipper provided a solution with features like Document Matching and cross-referencing, which automated manual tasks and clarified data sources. Cherry Bekaert gamified the implementation with creative training to drive adoption. The results were significant efficiency gains, including a 67% time savings on tests of details and a 75% time savings on financial statement reviews, leading to higher audit quality and a more innovative work culture.
