Looking back to the Irish Accountancy Awards 2026, Deloitte has been named Best Use of Technology in Accounting and Finance - Large for Omnia, its cloud-based audit platform, recognised for transforming how audits are planned, executed, and delivered at scale.

Omnia demonstrates how cloud-based technology can reshape a core professional service. By streamlining audit processes, improving data analysis, and enhancing collaboration across engagement teams, the platform moves audit work away from fragmented, manual workflows towards a more connected and efficient model. The result is a shift in how audit evidence is gathered, analysed, and shared.

Judges commended the platform’s impact: “Our judges were impressed by Deloitte’s innovative use of technology through the Omnia Cloud-based Audit Platform, which exemplifies the future of auditing. By streamlining audit processes, improving data analysis, and enhancing collaboration, Omnia represents a groundbreaking shift in how audits are conducted. This cutting-edge platform not only optimises efficiency but also elevates the overall audit quality, providing measurable benefits to both clients and the firm. The clear alignment of Omnia’s capabilities with Deloitte’s strategic vision for digital transformation sets a new standard in the accounting and finance sector.”

The platform’s benefits extend beyond the firm. Improved efficiency and audit quality deliver value to clients through more reliable assurance and clearer insight. For the firm, a unified platform supports consistency across engagements and strengthens its digital transformation agenda. The alignment between Omnia’s capabilities and Deloitte’s strategic direction shows technology investment positioned as a core part of the firm’s service model rather than a standalone initiative.

Deloitte’s recognition reflects evolving standards within the Irish Accountancy Awards, where technology excellence is increasingly judged on its effect on audit quality, data-driven insight, and measurable client benefit, not on adoption alone.

This recognition sets a benchmark for audit technology as the profession looks toward the 2027 awards cycle, where firms will continue advancing cloud-based platforms, data analysis, and digitally enabled audit quality.
