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
