  • To Identify the benefits and challenges of using data analytics
  • To categorize the phases of the data analysis process.

Course Overview

Data analysis is a powerful tool for fraud examiners.

Fraud can take place in many forms, and it affects all kinds of industries but the degree of harm is different for different industries. The sectors which frequently deal with fraud detection use several techniques to deal with the fraud. The main thing that they must do is to know the reason behind the fraud. Data analytics is the best tool that can help you know the reason behind frequent fraud at your workplace.

By searching for patterns, anomalies, trends, and outliers, you might discover a cleverly hidden scheme. A skillful fraudster is adept at covering his tracks. However, data analytics empowers you to uncover even the most thoroughly hidden fraud. Furthermore, data analytics can be used to continuously monitor an organization so that red flags of fraud are discovered and investigated as soon as they occur.

This CPE Auditing webinar is designed for individuals who would like to obtain a basic understanding of how to use data analytics to enhance a fraud investigation. We will review the various types of data analytics that are available to fraud investigators.

In this CPE/CPD course, speaker Robert Minniti will discuss the issues of validity and bias when performing data analytics. We will discuss using data analytics to detect possible fraud, identify suspects, and determine losses. We will also discuss using data analytics to determine or support the prediction of fraud.

Key Topics covered in this course are:

  • The Elements of Fraud
  • Forensic accounting & Fraud investigations
  • Primary Data vs Secondary Data
  • Types of Data Analytics
  • Designing procedures for data analysis
  • Benford's Law
