全球化與資訊化的時代來臨，造成營運模式的改變，大量資料皆透過資訊系統處理，沙賓法案等法案的推行也造成企業潛在的法規遵循壓力。內部稽核因應電子化的環境也有所應變，內部稽核領域提出持續稽核技術協助稽核作業。持續性技術對企業來說為新興的應用，為此，本研究以Rogers (2003) 的創新擴散理論為基礎，探討影響企業導入持續性稽核技術之關鍵因素。本研究使用區別分析進行分析，分析結果發現，相對優勢、相容性、可觀察性、資訊強度、法規遵循需求、CEO 對創新的態度與CEO 對持續性稽核的態度成為企業導入持續性稽核技術的主要考量因素。提供欲導入持續性稽核企業之參考以及提供供應商思考如何提供符合使用者需求之服務或技術。

With Productivity 4.0, corporations are encountering challenges in modifying their operating models. Furthermore, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the implementation of antitrust laws in various nations have generated pressures concerning corporate governance and compliance. Continuous auditing technology has been developed in response. Although this technology has emerged as a topic of discussion worldwide, researchers have yet to conduct in-depth investigations on the implementation of continuous auditing. This study employed the diffusion of innovation theory proposed by Rogers (2003) as a foundation and applied it to continuous auditing. The purpose was to explore the key factors that influence the implementation of continuous auditing through discriminant analysis methods. The results indicated that corporations focus on relative advantage, compatibility, observability, information intensity, demand of compliance, CEO support, and CEO innovativeness. Consequently, suppliers of continuous auditing should consider these factors for enhancing this technology to fulfill user demands.
