Analyzing Accounts Payable in IDEA® is a half-day, instructor-led case study that walks students through their role as an auditor hired at Bright IDEAs, Inc. to perform an Accounts Payable audit and fraud investigation. The auditor evaluates business and audit risks associated with AP and then reviews potential tests that can be used to address those risks.
The case study includes a review of using IDEA to import data files, profile payments, extract unusual transactions, using Benford’s Law, join data files and much more. We will also utilize a portion of the IDEA Data Analysis Workbook for your reference.
**Please note participants are required to be actively engaged in the class and complete coursework to qualify for CPE credit.**
