Catching up with Vidya Peters, CEO of DataSnipper

The audit industry is facing what Vidya Peters calls an untenable equation: growing demand and shrinking supply. As regulations increase and businesses become more complex, fewer people are joining the profession, and those who do often burn out under the heavy manual workload.

DataSnipper solves this by using AI to automate the heavy lifting of data verification. As “Snipping” becomes the new “Googling” for auditors, it’s spreading through the industry like wildfire—trusted by the Big Four and used by more than 500,000 auditors in 177 countries worldwide.

Index partner Hannah Seal catches up with Vidya to talk about DataSnipper’s incredible word-of-mouth rise, the responsibility auditors continue to hold even with the rise of AI, and the urgent need for technology to solve the biggest problems facing the profession today.
