Edo Roos Lindgreen specialises in the impact of major technological changes on the field of auditing: the independent and impartial inspection of financial and non-financial reports and the processes on which they are based with a view to assuring stakeholders of their reliability.

The technological landscape in which auditors perform their work is becoming ever more complex. Auditors are witnessing an explosion of structured and unstructured data that they can use to their advantage. Roos Lindgreen focuses on accessing and analysing this data using advanced techniques and tools. He is also working on an answer to the following question: how can we use audits to establish that the use of new technologies is secure and reliable and complies with formal and informal standards?

In his capacity as professor, Roos Lindgreen will focus on enhancing education and research in the field of data science in auditing. He will also play an active part in the Amsterdam Platform for Privacy Research, an inter-faculty research platform on privacy that is based at the UvA. Finally, as programme director, he will be responsible for the executive programmes for Internal Auditing and IT Auditing.
