Robotic Process Automation Governance in Accounting Information Systems Research: A Multivocal Literature Review and Future Research Agenda.

This paper employs a multivocal literature review to examine the existing white and gray literature on robotic process automation (RPA) governance, aiming to identify and analyze the recurring themes and subthemes that constitute the body of knowledge in this area. Through this comprehensive review, we identify key themes central to RPA governance: RPA governance models, RPA organizational change management (OCM), RPA risk management, RPA roles and responsibilities, RPA regulations, compliance, and frameworks, RPA auditing and controls, RPA system development life cycle, and RPA security and privacy. By synthesizing these themes, we propose a definition of RPA governance and outline a future research agenda for each theme. This paper provides a holistic review of existing RPA governance research and develops pathways for future scholarly inquiry. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
