Presentation: AICPA Guide to Data Analytics: Explorations and Interpretations using IDEA

Speaker: Mario Perez, CIDA, Audit Analytics Consultant. Audimation Services

Presentation Description:

Mario Perez will interpret some of the main data analytic techniques discussed in the book, "A Guide to Audit Data Analytics" and show how it can be performed in IDEA.  In early 2018, the AICPA released a Guide to Audit Data Analytics to give auditors an overview of different data analytic techniques they can apply in their audit engagements. 

The goal of this presentation is to interpret some of the main data analytics written in the Guide and show how it would be performed using the Data Analytic tool IDEA.

Mario has over 12 years experience as an IDEA user, trainer, and provider of technical support and consulting services. Starting with his introduction to IDEA as an audit associate at BDO New York in the mid-90s, he credits his enthusiasm for Data Analytics and knowledge of IDEA with traveling the world, working with the IDEA distributor in Scandinavia as well as training and consulting engagements in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and The Bahamas.
