Description

In this episode, we discuss why it is important to focus on our audit objective when using data analysis in our audit.

We explore:

  1. Why a focus on the objective helps us measure success
  2. Why we should avoid rules based analysis
  3. How a focus on the objective helps us stay true to our audit mandate
  4. Cost benefit analysis when we find things that are not related to the audit
  5. Why a focus on the objective helps us in reporting on data quality or missing data
