36. Why the audit objective should drive our use of data
Manage episode 284984256 series 2801356
In this episode, we discuss why it is important to focus on our audit objective when using data analysis in our audit.
We explore:
- Why a focus on the objective helps us measure success
- Why we should avoid rules based analysis
- How a focus on the objective helps us stay true to our audit mandate
- Cost benefit analysis when we find things that are not related to the audit
- Why a focus on the objective helps us in reporting on data quality or missing data
This is explored in more depth in our book, here: https://riskinsights.com.au/the-data-confident-internal-auditor
