Data and analytics

EY Helix comprises a global suite of analytic capabilities that embed data and intelligence into every aspect of the audit. Powered by Microsoft Azure and integrated into the audit workflow, EY Helix accelerates the use of advanced analytics within the audit and empowers EY teams to make informed, data-driven decisions.

  • Enables full-population analysis across all enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, regardless of data size, to accelerate and strengthen risk assessments.
  • Delivers tailored, company-specific analyses and metrics that reveal business patterns.
  • Visualizes analytics dynamically to uncover hidden trends and guide more targeted and insightful questions, informed by data.

AI and automation

Generative and Agentic AI are embedded into workflows, to help audit teams orchestrate complex tasks, processes and technologies, and address risks more dynamically, while accessing continuously updated auditing and accounting guidance — at unprecedented scale and speed. AI capabilities are developed, tested and deployed in alignment with the EY organization's nine principles of Responsible AI.

  • Provides easier access to relevant knowledge, guidance and enablement at the point of need.
  • Optimizes time spent on audit delivery and better understanding of risks, while elevating the audit experience for EY clients.
  • Elevates focus on applying deep judgment and professional skepticism to drive quality.
