Abstract:

This study conducts a bibliometric analysis of research trends in technology adoption in auditing over the period from 1995 to 2025. Technological advancements have fundamentally transformed auditing practices, and this research aims to map the evolution, focus areas, and key contributors to the field. Using a dataset of 50 highly relevant articles from the Web of Science, the study explores publication trends, co-authorship networks, geographic collaboration patterns, keyword co-occurrence, and citation analysis. Findings reveal a marked increase in publications post-2010, with a surge observed around 2020. Key emerging topics include artificial intelligence, blockchain, and cloud computing, which have become central to the discourse on audit innovations. The analysis also highlights the dominant journals and institutions in the field, with significant contributions from RMIT University and Cairo University. By examining these trends, this research provides valuable insights into the evolving relationship between technology and auditing, suggesting future directions for both scholars and practitioners
