OVERVIEW
Today’s Internal Audit environment demands audit departments to “do more, with less”. A formal data analytics program can go a long way in helping an audit function become more efficient, easily scalable and significantly reduce auditing errors all while providing greater audit and fraud risk coverage. Data analytics programs can provide long term continuous auditing or monitoring around legal and compliance issues as well as the ability to do ad hoc audit testing, business review and fraud investigations. Data analytics is the cornerstone for fraud detection programs in many organizations, providing audit and fraud teams to immediately and easily identify potential fraud without having to manually “sample” large quantities in order to detect fraud and fraud patterns.Participants will learn interactively through a combination of lecture, live demonstrations, and exercises. Students should who wish to take the most out of this class should bring laptops with them to class to be used for exercises.
