About
Douglas Boyle is a leading voice in the intersection of accounting, risk management, and emerging automation technologies. His research centers on how robotic process automation (RPA) is reshaping internal controls, audit risk, and the accounting profession itself. In his highly cited 2023 work, "RPA in Accounting Risk and Internal Control: Insights from RPA Program Managers," Boyle provides one of the first empirical examinations of how organizations are navigating the implementation of RPA within their control environments. Drawing directly from the experiences of program managers, he identifies critical governance challenges and offers a practical framework for managing automation-related risk. This work has become a foundational reference for both practitioners and academics seeking to understand the unintended consequences of RPA on audit quality and financial reporting integrity. Boyle’s contributions are particularly valuable for students and researchers exploring the human and organizational dimensions of accounting technology adoption, bridging the gap between technical implementation and professional oversight.
