    20. Why Use Data Analytics?
      • Increase effectiveness, gain more insight
        • Analyze 100% of transactions
        • Compare/analyze data from different applications & systems
        • Accurately detect and gauge control weaknesses
        • Identify instances of fraud, errors and inefficiencies
      • Increase efficiency, get more done
        • Identify and prioritize areas of risk
        • Automate repetitive analysis
      “ Leading internal audit functions use data analytics for numerous activities, including risk assessment, planning, execution and reporting.” Ernst & Young, Global Internal Audit Survey 2008
    21. Apply Analytics Throughout the Audit Process
        • Ad-hoc testing to determine areas of greatest risk and materiality
        • Focus valuable audit resources on high-priority audit goals and objectives
        • Identify specific data requirements
        • Use data access capabilities to gather required data
        • Analyze, review and evaluate 100% of relevant data and transactions
        • Automate repetitive and continuous analysis to improve efficiency and coverage
        • Conduct peer reviews to enhance overall quality of your audits
        • A Log file keeps a complete audit trail of all testing and procedures performed
        • Identify and report your audit findings
        • Cut and paste, export to other applications, distribute exceptions to business
        • Shorter audit cycles, improved efficiency, increase audit coverage and assurance
        • Identify opportunities for operational efficiency and cost savings
        • Stronger internal controls and support for compliance programs
    22. Apply Analytics Throughout the Audit Spectrum Specific analytic queries – performed at a point in time – for the purpose of generating audit report findings Managed analytics – created by specialists – and deployed from a centralized, secure environment, accessible to all appropriate staff Continual execution of automated audit tests to identify errors, anomalies, patterns and exceptions as they occur
      • Explorative & investigative in nature
      • Seeking documented conclusions & recommendations
      • Periodic analysis of processes from multiple data sources
      • Seeking to improve the efficiency, consistency & quality of audits
      • “ Always on” - scripted auditing & monitoring of key processes

    23. Customer Quote Tom Boyle, District Audit Office Palomar Pomerado Health AuditExchange 2.0 enables real-time communication between auditors, stakeholders and management. It’s a huge advantage for our continuous monitoring plan and the improved security strengthens our ongoing compliance efforts.
    24. Customer Quote Tom Boyle, District Audit Office Palomar Pomerado Health Audit Exchange 2.0, with the AX Exception component, has improved our controls monitoring across the business.  We have automated both audit testing and distributing the results for appropriate follow up.  It now runs seamlessly and we have an audit trail that confirms exceptions are reviewed and dealt with. This is a much better alternative to sending audit reports with attachments, to people who may or may not answer, and then manually cutting and pasting auditee feedback back into audit reports.
    25. Customer Quote Tom Boyle, District Audit Office Palomar Pomerado Health We were very pleased to have skilled guides throughout the migration process and the consultants onsite proved to be invaluable. We are light years ahead of where we’d be if we had tried to do it all ourselves.
    26. Technology Significant increase is technology usage suggests internal audit realizes the cost benefit of tools that increase efficiency and effectiveness. Global Internal Audit Survey 2008
    27. Technology The growing role of technology has become a key identifier of highly effective internal audit functions. Global Internal Audit Survey 2008
    28. Technology High-performing internal audit functions maximize the use of technology to enhance the efficiency, effectiveness, and quality of operations. State of the Internal Audit Profession Study 2009

    30. Data Analytics Internal audit’s data analytic capabilities, instrumental to effectively examining the large volumes of data readily accessible through ERP systems for anomalies and other fraud indicators, are now even more critical. State of the Internal Audit Profession Study 2009
    31. Data Analytics To improve effectiveness in the search for errors or unusual transactions, internal audit should test entire data populations automatically. State of the Internal Audit Profession Study 2009
    32. Data Analytics We believe – and our survey respondents agree – that internal audit functions must embrace technology in all phases of the internal audit process and ensure that both IT and non-IT auditors are armed with a practical application of relevant systems and data analytics. State of the Internal Audit Profession Study 2009
    33. Data Analytics Leading internal audit functions use data analytics for numerous activities, including risk assessment, planning, execution and reporting. Global Internal Audit Survey 2008
    34. Value of Internal Audit Perhaps the enduring challenge facing internal audit leaders is the need to continually demonstrate and communicate their function’s real value... State of the Internal Audit Profession Study 2009
    35. Value of Internal Audit To strengthen quality, internal audit should apply technology to conduct real-time reviews, escalate issues, and ensure compliance with standards. State of the Internal Audit Profession Study 2009
    36. Value of Internal Audit The internal audit landscape continues to progress – offering internal audit a more strategic role in the organization by focusing its efforts on business and process improvement. Global Internal Audit Survey 2008
    37. How is ACL Desktop Different from Excel? Why not use Excel?
      • Lack of data integrity - values may be altered deliberately or accidentally
      • Error prone - errors in input, logic, data interfaces and use
      • Not in line with IT regimes for critical applications – documentation, testing, version control
      • Difficult to access a variety of data formats
      • Limited data file sizes
      • Keeping track of, distributing most current version can be inefficient, error-prone
      • Lacks pre-built audit functionality (Aging, Benford, MUS, Stratify)
      • No audit log
      • Limited automation capabilities
