Book excerpt: Based on the continuing success of STAR, the computer-based auditing system first pioneered by Deloitte & Touche LLP almost 25 years ago, Statistical Techniques for Analytical Review in Auditing, Second Edition builds on its original text to provide a comprehensive, up-to-date, and practical guide to using this highly effective and efficient system for planning, performing, and evaluating analytical procedures.

This Second Edition has been thoroughly updated to reflect the changes required by SAS 56, and features additional practical examples and all new graphics and printouts. Without using complicated mathematics, the authors take the reader through the understanding and implementation of STAR in four stages: Beginning with a description of the audit philosophy behind its success, they provide an overview of STAR's role in analytical procedures. They then cover the basic statistical concepts of regression analysis and other statistical techniques utilized by STAR. The authors then explain the practical aspects of designing and improving STAR models and of interpreting and evaluating their results. Finally, they describe in detail the statistical tests and transformations performed by STAR and explain the mathematics behind multivariate regression. Pertinent examples are used throughout to illustrate both theory and practice. The only text currently available on this successful and widely used auditing program, Statistical Techniques for Analytical Review in Auditing, Second Edition is designed to be an invaluable resource for external as well as internal auditors involved in business, government, and nonprofit organizations.

Download or read book Audit Analytics written by J. Christopher Westland and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-11-20 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, information technology plays a pivotal role in financial control and audit: most financial data is now digitally recorded and dispersed among servers, clouds and networks over which the audited firm has no control. Additionally, a firm’s data—particularly in the case of finance, software, insurance and biotech firms— comprises most of the audited value of the firm. Financial audits are critical mechanisms for ensuring the integrity of information systems and the reporting of organizational finances. They help avoid the abuses that led to passage of legislation such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (1977), and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (2002). Audit effectiveness has declined over the past two decades as auditor skillsets have failed to keep up with advances in information technology. Information and communication technology lie at the core of commerce today and are integrated in business processes around the world. This book is designed to meet the increasing need of audit professionals to understand information technology and the controls required to manage it. The material included focuses on the requirements for annual Securities and Exchange Commission audits (10-K) for listed corporations. These represent the benchmark auditing procedures for specialized audits, such as internal, governmental, and attestation audits. Using R and RStudio, the book demonstrates how to render an audit opinion that is legally and statistically defensible; analyze, extract, and manipulate accounting data; build a risk assessment matrix to inform the conduct of a cost-effective audit program; and more.
