Description: We tackled the problem statement by PricewaterhouseCoopers which challenges participants to harness the opportunities of emerging tech to revolutionize flexible working practices and platforms for the accountants of tomorrow. We proposed and built a web application platform for the team leads to keep track of their auditors’ work progress, breaking the conventional time and location barriers through the use of predictive analytics. This helps to maximise the internal use of human capital within the audit teams while offering greater flexibility for the auditors.
