Overview

This course is an instructor lead Zoom Webinar, the first in a series, focuses on the practical use of data analytics for both IT and Operational Auditors. The course is hands-on and teaches the use of Structured Query Language (SQL) and Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS) to analyze large and complex datasets in order to gain insights and deliver superior audit results. Leveraging the same Free and Open-Source Software (F/OSS) used in the course, participants can easily deploy these platforms within their Enterprise environments in order to leverage what they learned.

The course begins with an overview of the platforms and technology, proceeds to guide participants through installation and configuration, and then focuses the majority of the course on importing data, analyzing datasets through the lens of common audit tests, and exporting databases and queries to evidence the results identified. In this initial course, tests are focused on analyzing user access to identify terminated users and inappropriate access.

Take-Aways:

Participants completing this course will be prepared to install and configure the platforms used for data analytics, import data provided by clients into the analytics environment, analyze imported data, and export evidence in support of workpapers and audit results.
