53. The Data-Confident Internal Auditor

Auditing with data: for Performance Auditors and Internal Auditors that use (or want to use) data

This episode is a pre-recorded interview with Benji Block for the Author Hour podcast. We discuss our new book, The Data-Confident Internal Auditor.
For internal auditors, developing trends in data analysis and data science can feel less like a wealth of information and more like an avalanche. Still, better use of data provides an opportunity to advance your career by adopting new invaluable skills.

The missing link: jargon-free guidance that cuts through the hype. The Data-Confident Internal Auditor demystifies the use of data in internal audits through practical step-by-step guidance. With concepts and tools that are easy to understand and apply, this comprehensive guide shows you how to approach data yourself without having to wait on a data scientist or a technical expert.

Developed over the course of hundreds of actual audits, these real-world approaches and practices are distilled into a simple sequence of steps that will leave you feeling confident and even eager to apply them for yourself.
