Data Analytics and Big Data is important for businesses for analysis of big data for decision making related to pricing, consumer behavior, Supply chain management, Risk Management strategies etc. Controller has a very important role in analyzing the data and making the reports to the management for decision making based on the Analytical data. This module is very technical and has explained the the Data Analytics very clearly by providing the Key Terms and Handouts for references. This is one of a new module to learn for modern Controllers to know their role and responsibilities in handling and analyzing the data.
