Audit Analytics in Excel
This course was originally designed for a local chapter of the Association of Government Accountants (AGA). Their intent was to enhance their members audit analytics skills using a tool everyone had access to–Excel. This has become one of my more popular courses since.
It covers the following topics:
- detecting duplicates and gaps
- detecting anomalies
- merging data sets with VLOOKUP
- random sampling - simple and stratified
- Benford’s law and its application
- what-if analysis and Monte Carlo simulations
- costing with regression
