One of the objectives of performance auditing is to examine and assess the efficiency of the audited processes, programmes and organisations. To this end, the ratio method is usually used (the relation between output and input). However, it is faulty and has several significant limitations. Simultaneously, more advanced analytical methods are often considered as too complicated. The author, apart from discussing the basic issues, including the definition of efficiency, focuses on the application of the so called non-parametric methods for assessing efficiency, especially the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method. This method is known in academic circles, but it is also frequently applied in evaluation and benchmarking in business and in the public sector, and is recommended by various institutions and government agencies in many countries. Although the DEA is used by some audit institutions, it still seems to be not very common in auditing. In his article the author presents, in the most accessible manner possible, the idea of the DEA method, simple tools for its application and case studies.

Jednym z celów kontroli wykonania zadań jest badanie i ocena wydajności procesów, programów i organizacji. Stosowana zwykle w tym celu metoda wskaźnikowa (relacja wyników do nakładów) ma jednak wiele istotnych wad i ograniczeń. Z kolei bardziej zaawansowane metody analityczne są często uznawane za zbyt skomplikowane. Autor, poza omówieniem podstawowych kwestii, w tym dotyczących definicji wydajności, skupia się na zastosowaniu do badania wydajności tzw. metod nieparametrycznych, a w szczególności analizy obwiedni danych (DEA). Metoda jest znana od lat w środowisku akademickim, ale wykorzystuje się ją często również do ewaluacji i benchmarkingu w biznesie oraz w sektorze publicznym. Jakkolwiek DEA jest stosowana przez niektóre instytucje audytorskie, nadal wydaje się być zbyt mało popularna w audycie i kontroli. W artykule przedstawiono istotę metody DEA, proste narzędzia służące do jej realizacji oraz przykładowe zastosowanie.

Technological development and omnipresent digitalisation of the processes subject to audit undoubtedly are a sign of the times. These have an impact on our lives, but they also have to affect audit techniques. It is not a reputational issue only, but it concerns actual benefits of data analysis as well. To respond to these challenges, audit institutions can introduce a data based audit culture, similarly to data-driven organisations. This means focusing on data gathering, taking care of data quality, ability to analyse data and make conclusions, as well as establishing own analytical resources. To this end, audit institutions should create and update a knowledge base on information resources, promote their use in auditing, and see to appropriate audit staff development. The problems and issues discussed in the article are related to the current stage of information technologies implementation, hence they make challenges that audit institutions and auditors have to face nowadays. With the growing pace of information technologies development, their impact on the future audit process is hard to foresee. One thing is sure, though: in order to meet challenges of the future, we need to systematically analyse audit techniques and improve the digital competence of auditors.

Artykuł stanowi próbę odpowiedzi na pytanie o realne wyzwania, jakie stoją przed organami kontrolnymi oraz kontrolerami w związku z rozwojem technologicznym i cyfryzacją procesów podlegających kontroli. Został zaprezentowany w ujęciu historycznym oraz metodologicznym. Przedstawiono możliwe sposoby podejścia oraz metody analityczne stosowane w rożnych rodzajach kontroli. Prezentację głównych wyzwań poprzedza opis problemów, które utrudniają skuteczne wdrożenie metod analitycznych w polskich warunkach. Artykuł został napisany z pozycji praktyka posiadającego doświadczenie zarówno w opracowaniu rozwiązań metodycznych, jak i stosowaniu metod analitycznych w kontroli.
