NOTE: This Seminar has been changed to VIRTUAL only. During this two-day hands-on seminar, attendees will apply data analysis techniques to real-life fraud scenarios using data files and case studies to identify and solve problems. Our goal is to teach audit and accounting professionals to detect fraud, waste and abuse early and address them professionally.
Who should attend: Auditors, Investigators, Accounting Professionals.
Whether you are a seasoned investigator or someone seeking a better understanding of what can go wrong in your organization, you will benefit from this program. Novice auditors or those new to data analysis will learn and employ fundamental detection techniques to real cases, while advanced users and investigators will apply their knowledge in new and challenging ways to detect buried symptoms within complex schemes.
Attendees should have a laptop computer with IDEA software installed and updated. The Instructor will provide downloadable data for use in class. Don't use IDEA? A free demo version of IDEA software will be provided to you. IDEA runs in Windows and is not compatible with the Mac operating system.
From the opening exercise, we will employ a team approach to solving cases, as in the field. Within IDEA, you will apply to actual case data: Creative Extractions; Statistical Analyses; Join-matches & mismatches; Trend Analysis; Pivot Tables; Embedded Functions; Field Manipulation; Numeric & Date Stratification; Benford's Law; Data Duplications & Exclusions; and more!
