Data Analytics: Tool and Techniques

Description

This seminar is a condensed, quick paced overview on the principles, tools, techniques, and applications of data analytics within a contemporary audit environment. Large amounts of electronic data present an enormous challenge and opportunity to identify trends, correlations, levels of compliance, activity, risks, possible fraud, errors, and otherwise hidden causes and effects in financial, performance and operational activity. This seminar will demonstrate the application of software and a case study to demonstrate the power of available tools to extract, sort and identify specific information from databases and the cloud. This seminar will also explore approaches to using data to identify risks and outliers, monitor activity and display and chart results for reporting and presentation, as well as current industry data trends and threats. For the virtual version, students must have Excel-with the Data Analysis ToolPak activated (this is included with Excel software). This course is part of the Certified Government Auditor (CGA) program, Level 1.
