This dissertation delves into the integration of foundation models in accounting and auditing, showcasing their potential to revolutionize the field.The first essay explores the abilities, mechanisms, and implications of Large Language Models (LLMs) within the accounting domain. First, this study demonstrates LLMs' abilities, then discusses selected mechanisms crucial for the accounting community and their practical implications. Furthermore, this chapter analyzes the lifecycle of LLM research, outlining their role in developing sophisticated accounting systems. The proposed lifecycle analysis can be generalized to encompass other technologies that hold the potential for developing a variety of systems. This chapter serves as a basis for the knowledge presented in the following two chapters.The second essay proposes the concept of artificial intelligence co-piloted auditing, emphasizing the collaborative potential of auditors and foundation models in the auditing domain. Auditors' capabilities are enhanced through artificial intelligence in a variety of audit tasks. To exemplify the potential of this co-piloted audit paradigm, this paper illustrates a systematic fine-tuning approach of foundation models using chain-of-thought prompting that enables instruction learning, in-context learning, and sequential reasoning. The chapter provides a detailed description of the formulated prompt protocols and the corresponding responses from the model in different tasks. The findings underscore the transformative role of foundation models in reshaping the future of auditing and advocate for continued exploration in this area.The third essay proposes a future version of AI-based multimodal auditing in practice. Taking advantage of foundation models' potential in multimodal data integration, data of different modalities are connected automatically. Tabular, textual, image, and other formats of data are integrated into one system. Auditors can use natural languages to give instructions and finish diverse audit tasks. The paper then designs a methodology with a prompt template and implementation strategy for multimodal tasks. This chapter evaluates the feasibility of the idea through the designed zero-shot prompting application to a simulation case study with five experiments. The result shows the latest LLMs can complete the five audit-related tasks, proving the feasibility of developing an auditing system for multimodal data leveraging foundation models.
