Paul the Insurer 19: A new perspective on life

What needs to happen for auditors to change their perspective? The latest podcast shows how innovative approaches and AI are revolutionizing the work of auditors and what everyone can learn from this.

In the insurance industry, auditors are far more than just number crunchers. They act like Sherlock Holmes, tracking down errors that could cause financial damage to the company or jeopardize its reputation. From accountants to IT specialists and actuaries: they all share an enthusiasm for the meticulous search for weaknesses. Patience, precise knowledge of processes and accounting and a basic understanding of insurance are essential.

Versatile challenges away from the cliché

Auditors report directly to the Management Board. Their reports uncover problems that affect operations and require quick, well-founded decisions. Despite its often dry reputation, this job not only offers a broad perspective on the industry, but also exciting challenges and opportunities for further development.

Creativity and AI as game changers

Traditional audit methods are now reaching their limits. A new approach is encouraging auditors to think strategically and incorporate innovative technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) into their work. This not only opens up more efficient audit procedures, but also new opportunities to reduce the human error rate. This means that auditors are no longer just rule makers, but also drivers of innovation, and this change in perspective is inspiring.

Insurance companies shape the future

The role of the auditor is changing. Those who are open to new ways of thinking will discover a real opportunity to actively shape the future of the insurance industry in this professional field. Insurance is more than just a job: it is a playing field where creativity, strategy and responsibility are required.
