Internal Audit for new age and large enterprise is more and more becoming business focussed than error and compliance focused.
In the time when, Data is more relevant than document, let's understand the new dimension of Internal Audit with Data Analytics.
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.

Data issues are deeply rooted and extremely complex. Not only do organizations have trouble choosing a starting point for bad data, but they also have difficulty finding the root cause of the issue. As a result, data audits can be long, tedious initiatives, that offer little insight into the data issues.
Traditional data audits are too narrowly focused on security and compliance. Availability and trust issues need to be uncovered as well.
Organizations are not aware of all their data sources.
Organizations are conducting data audits that are ineffective, only focusing on issues and failing to get to the root of the problem.
Data audits are failing to provide insight into possible solutions and problem resolution.
Critical Insight
A combination of technical profiling and user profiling will help you understand where issues are and why they exist.
An annual data audit initiative will continually revise and fine-tune ongoing practices, processes, and procedures for the management and handling of data within the organization.
You can’t do everything at once. Pick a process, see some early victories, gain momentum, and repeat.
Impact and Result
Prepare for the audit: Prepare in advance to make the audit process smoother and less time-intensive. Identify and create an inventory of all data sources that are within the scope of your data audit. Use these data sources to understand which users would provide a valuable, insightful interview. Schedule interviews and complete technical profiling.
Conduct audit: Interview relevant stakeholders identified in the audit preparation. Use insight from these interviews to complete user profiling. Update the data sources and data inventory with any information that may have been missed.
Analyze and assess results: Get to the root of the problem through conducting a root cause analysis. Find out why the issues are occurring.
Correct plan: You know what the issues are and you now know why they are being caused. Create the corrective plan through prioritizing initiatives and data activities. Use a combination of short-term and long-term initiatives.
Integrating Digital Marketing AnalyticsDaniel Shea
Digital analytics is complicated! Advanced analytics (data science & predictive modeling) are needed to extract the most knowledge. But how? Here is a framework and some tips from my experience peeking through the curtain.
Game Changing Quality Strategies that Drive Organizational Excellencekushshah
Quality in the past was more related conforming to requirements, in lot of cases as it relates to engineering requirements and not necessarily enthusiastic customer experience. It was a very narrow definition of quality and focused more on Things Gone Wrong. Goal was to reach a level of customer accepted.
Quality definition today is much broader and winning in quality in this highly competitive environment requires deployment game changing quality strategies.
We will discuss how to infuse the voice of the customer into the way we design our products and services so that they exceed customer expectations. Organizations that engage all functions within enterprise and are customer centric will differentiate themselves from the rest of the competition. This presentation will provide an integrated roadmap on how to integrate proactive quality strategies such as Design for Six Sigma (DFSS), Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP), Design Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (DFMEA), Process Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (PFMEA) along with reactive strategies such as Six Sigma and control plans to achieve organizational excellence.
Your Challenge
Companies understand the importance of business process improvement (BPI) and recognize the touted benefits: cost savings, waste elimination, and process efficiency.
With this said, 70% of companies that embark on process improvement initiatives fail.
The high probability of failure is attributed to a number of factors, including lack of continuous improvement and failing to define measurable outcomes.
Our Advice
Adopt a forward-facing outlook. Don’t focus solely on the current state, set improvement targets upfront to drive the initiative.
Break problems down into root-cause variables. Don’t look at the symptom, dive deeper and alleviate the root cause.
Empower business analysts. Create a practical process improvement methodology that your analysts can follow.
Impact and Result
Kick off process improvement by identifying the goals and defining the improvement targets.
Start by referring to the operating model and identifying level 1, 2, and 3 processes. Once the team understands the relationship between processes, they can begin to map a level 3 process using a standard mapping notation.
Use qualitative and quantitative techniques for analyzing the root cause rather than the symptoms.
Ensure the design is aligned with the initial improvement targets. Focus on value-added activities.
Consistently monitor the process and assess the root-cause variables to gauge the success of the process improvements.

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.
Levelwise PageRank with Loop-Based Dead End Handling Strategy : SHORT REPORT ...Subhajit Sahu
Abstract — Levelwise PageRank is an alternative method of PageRank computation which decomposes the input graph into a directed acyclic block-graph of strongly connected components, and processes them in topological order, one level at a time. This enables calculation for ranks in a distributed fashion without per-iteration communication, unlike the standard method where all vertices are processed in each iteration. It however comes with a precondition of the absence of dead ends in the input graph. Here, the native non-distributed performance of Levelwise PageRank was compared against Monolithic PageRank on a CPU as well as a GPU. To ensure a fair comparison, Monolithic PageRank was also performed on a graph where vertices were split by components. Results indicate that Levelwise PageRank is about as fast as Monolithic PageRank on the CPU, but quite a bit slower on the GPU. Slowdown on the GPU is likely caused by a large submission of small workloads, and expected to be non-issue when the computation is performed on massive graphs.

assurance around business process risk and controls.
• But with increasing market volatility and complexity, IA is being asked to
deliver insight and value beyond assurance—particularly in the areas of
strategy execution, emerging risk, and the rising use of data analytics.
• Data Analytic tools plays a vital role in risk assessment and derivation of
deeper insights into the organization.

Risk Management
• Risk management is one of the leading
areas in which organizations choose to
apply analytics.
• Analytics provides better “radar” on risk via
the application of exploratory and
predictive techniques, as well as through
the automation of routines that speed up
the evaluation of risk.
• Helps companies identify and address
current and emerging risks more quickly
5. What Data Analytics is…?
• Analytics is not a technology; it’s a concept. It refers to the use of certain
technologies, skill sets, and processes for the exploration, evaluation, and
investigation of business operations.
• To drive planning, gain insight, and optimize the internal audit lifecycle.
• Makes extensive use of data, statistical and quantitative analysis, explanatory and
predictive modeling, and fact-based management to drive decision making.
• Analytics methodology, analysis tools, performance management, descriptive
statistics, exploratory data analysis, confirmatory data analysis, as well as data
management.
• Provides hindsight, insight, and foresight.
6. Why Data Analytics …?
• Traditional internal audit methodologies have served their purpose well for
decades.
• However, as the business landscape for most organizations becomes increasingly
complex and fast paced, there is a movement toward leveraging advanced
business analytic techniques to refine the focus on risk and derive deeper insights
into the organization.
• Leading Internal Audit functions are embracing recent enhancements in data
mining technology and data visualization tools to deliver results more dynamically
in response to risk, dive deeper into organizational data, and deliver profound fact-
based insights.
• Business analytics holds incredible promise to enhance the internal audit process.
• Key to delivering on this promise is asking the right questions, embedding analytics
into the culture of the Internal Audit function, and aligning the analytics
implementation with the planning process and overall organizational operational
and strategic objectives.

The Value of Information
8. Perhaps one of the best challenges that the internal audit process faces today
is the expectation of the C-suite and Audit Committee, that Internal Audit
should support the business by delivering deeper insight and greater value
more efficiently and effectively. Some of the challenging expectations of
Internal Audit include:
• Being more efficient and achieving more with less
• More effectively identifying and responding to risk
• Delivering more robust and effective analysis of key issues
• Providing more meaningful actionable insights
• Driving Change within the business
The Solution to these challenges lies in the application of analytic techiques
to the Internal Audit Process. Indeed, we believe that analytics will be
transformational for Internal Audit
