Data Analytics and the Small Audit Department: How to Implement for Big GainsCaseWare IDEA
Listen to playback of this webinar: https://www.casewareanalytics.com/webinars/data-analytics-and-small-audit-department-how-implement-big-gains
Most internal auditors recognize the need for data analytics and the improved coverage it offers. But did you know that even small audit teams can effectively leverage data analytics in their audit programs?
It is time to get through the excuses and join our experts as they as they debunk the myth that only large audit teams can use data analytics. This webinar discusses how small audit firms can start with an analytics program; how to leverage analytic techniques along with critical thinking at various phases of the audit process, including risk assessment, macro level audit planning and micro-level audit planning; and finally a methodical plan on how small teams can grow their data analytics program to increase their effectiveness and confidence in the internal audit process.

Since the spread of IT systems has made it a pre-requisite that auditors as well as management have the ability to examine high volumes of data and transaction in order to determine patterns and trends. In addition, the increasing need to continuously monitor and audit IT systems has created an imperative for the effective use of appropriate data mining tools.
While a variety of powerful tools are readily available today, the skills required to utilize such tools are not. Not only must the correct testing techniques be selected but the effective interpretation of outcomes presented by the software is essential in the drawing of appropriate conclusions based on the data analysis. This 6 webinar series, based on Richard Cascarino’s book “Data Analytics for Internal Auditors” covers these skills and techniques.

How Big Data and Predictive Analytics are Transforming the World of Accountin...Swenson Advisors, LLP
The age of the millennials is upon us: Google, Instagram, Snapchat, social media, competency based education (CBE) are changing the world we live in. Big Data, its “analytical off spring,” will significantly change the role and skill set of auditors and accountants in less than a decade.
Enterprise Analytics Strategy: Taking Business Analytics to the UserRubén Mancha
The last mile of the business analytics transformation--taking business analytics to the user--requires the alignment of goals, data, and models with business processes, technology and key performance indicators.
Your smarter data analytics strategy - Social Media Strategies Summit (SMSS) ...Clark Boyd
The volume and velocity of available data brings with it a huge amount of new opportunities for marketers. However, without the analytics know-how to avail of this data, these are opportunities that are often missed. Moreover, the variety of different data sources and analytics platforms only add to this complexity.
This presentation covers:
- How to define and communicate an analytics framework
- How to set up analytics dashboards for a range of stakeholders
- The people and skills you need for an optimal analytics team
- Practical tips for improving your campaign measurement
The ASCENTOR team is experienced in delivering complex custom made professional trainings in business strategy, finance, risk and fraud. We customise all our training programs to respond to our client's industry issues and real worklife needs. Our main cutomised training solutions cover a range of highly practical topics. We will discuss with your HR and management team to develop the most appropriate programs for the targeted audience.
The Innovator’s Journey: Asset Manager InsightsState Street
On behalf of State Street, Longitude conducted a global survey of senior executives at investment
organizations during October and November 2014. We asked them to self-assess their confidence and
progress across six data capabilities, including infrastructure, insight, adaptability, compliance, talent and
governance. The 400 respondents were drawn from 11 countries and included insurance companies,
private and public pension funds, fund-of-funds, foundations, central banks, endowments, sovereign
wealth funds and supranationals. Two hundred asset managers participated in the survey.
Predictive project analytics: Will your project be successful?Deloitte Canada
We may not often ask ourselves whether our project will succeed for fear of the answer. But 63 percent of projects either fail or struggle to meet their budget or completion objectives. The more complex the project, the more likely it is to fail. A recent, high-profile example of this was the roll-out of the U.S. government’s healthcare.gov program. While the government acted quickly to fix major problems with the website, the glitch led many Americans to delay their decision to join the program and turned many others off altogether. Several factors contributed to the website’s failure, including incorrectly forecasting the performance requirements, not giving sufficient time for appropriate testing and underestimating the complexity of the project. The same shortcomings doom other projects, too.
To avoid making similar mistakes, leading organizations need to identify in advance which projects are more likely to end badly and how to give them the best shot at success. Predictive project analytics, or PPA, is a new approach that leverages advanced analytics to evaluate a given project’s likelihood of success. Read how it works and how it can help your organization.

The Three Lines of Defense Model & Continuous Controls MonitoringCaseWare IDEA
Presented at ACFE conference.
Long gone are the days when organizations could afford to treat each risk, fraud and compliance issue as an individual problem and allow business processes, employees and systems to operate in silos. In order for businesses to activate robust fraud detection, diverse teams of fraud investigators, internal auditors, enterprise risk management specialists, business executives and compliance officers must work in unison; each brings a unique perspective and skill set that can be invaluable to the organization. One approach we’ll examine is the Three Lines of Defense Model where management control is the first line of defense in risk management. The various risk control and compliance functions are the second line of defense, and independent assurance is the third. Each team or “line” plays a distinct role to achieve organizational objectives.
You Will Learn How To:
1. Make a business case for collaboration while remaining true to the principles of your profession
2. Derive business benefits from risk management and internal audit working collaboratively to fulfill their second and third line of defense mandates
3. Tailor the Three Lines Defense Model to fit your organization

Techniques to optimize the pagerank algorithm usually fall in two categories. One is to try reducing the work per iteration, and the other is to try reducing the number of iterations. These goals are often at odds with one another. Skipping computation on vertices which have already converged has the potential to save iteration time. Skipping in-identical vertices, with the same in-links, helps reduce duplicate computations and thus could help reduce iteration time. Road networks often have chains which can be short-circuited before pagerank computation to improve performance. Final ranks of chain nodes can be easily calculated. This could reduce both the iteration time, and the number of iterations. If a graph has no dangling nodes, pagerank of each strongly connected component can be computed in topological order. This could help reduce the iteration time, no. of iterations, and also enable multi-iteration concurrency in pagerank computation. The combination of all of the above methods is the STICD algorithm. [sticd] For dynamic graphs, unchanged components whose ranks are unaffected can be skipped altogether.

24. OTHER KEYS TO SUCCESS
• Repeatable- “Productionalize”- Only need to refresh data
• Visualization
• Easily Interpret and summarize data in user friendly way
• Drill down into the underlying data
• Picture worth a thousand words
• Just like auditing, data analytics is an iterative process, one
set of results provides additional questions and the next
step in your analysis
25. SKILLS SETS
• Critical thinking
• Understanding the business
• Familiarity with automated solutions
• Data extract query tools are already built in to ERP and other systems today.
• SAP, PeopleSoft, Hyperion
• Creative problem solvers, what do I want to know about the data
• Not afraid of data and technology.
• Relational Database concepts versus Excel
• Willing to adapt and grow their skill sets. Necessity for their careers
• Investment of time to learn outside of work. Trial and error
• Perseverance
26. GAINING MANAGEMENT SUPPORT
• A necessity made easier…
• To search manually for irregularities is almost impossible
• Information is more complex
• Automated tools are easier to use than before
• To rely only on professional judgement can be subjective or
based on poor information

Data Analytics is a supplement to traditional audit techniques.
Specifically:
• Expanded coverage
• Better understanding of the data
• Uncover concerns in other areas
• Grow into continuous monitoring or continuous auditing
• Red flags which can be used to develop a targeted scope
for an audit, drilling down to root causes and control gaps
28. STANDARDS HAVE CHANGED
• Today Data Analytics is a requirement rather than a
recommendation
• Highlighted in the IIA standards under “Proficiency” where
auditors need to have sufficient knowledge of
“technology-based audit techniques” to do their work
Critical Thinking
Advanced Fuzzy Duplicate Trend Analysis
PLANNING Data Discovery
Data Sampling Visualization Data Insights
Identify trends & outliers Benford’s Law Analysis
Focus the Audit DATA INTEGRITY CaseWare Analytics
