Learning Objective

  • To identify various types and uses of data analytics.
  • To describe the ethical and legal issues involved with data collection and analysis.
  • To demonstrate how to use Benford’s Law to analyze data.
  • To select appropriate data visualization tools.

Course Overview

Traditional internal audit methodologies have served their purpose well for decades. However, as the business landscape for most organizations becomes increasingly complex, there is now a drive to leverage data analytics techniques to identify risks and bring insights into the organization. While it is management's responsibility to ensure that risks are appropriately mitigated, internal audits can make full use of data analytics to focus on areas or transactions where controls do not exist or are not operating effectively.

Data analytics is the process by which insights are extracted from operational, finance, and other forms of electronic data, internal or external to the organization. The insights can be historical, real-time, or predictive and also be risk-focused.

Major topics covered in this CPE Auditing webinar:

  • Issues with validity and bias when performing data analytics.
  • Ethical and legal issues involved gathering, analyzing, and sharing information.
  • Examples of data visualization tools.
  • Walk through Benford’s Law case study as an example of how data analytics can be used in an internal audit.

This CPE course is designed by speaker Robert Minniti for individuals who would like to obtain a basic understanding of data analytics and how data analytics can be used by internal auditors. We will review the various types of data analytics that are available to internal auditors.
