This is part 6 of a 6-part series.
In the first episode, we discussed the 5 most commonly cited data in audit challenges. In this episode, we discuss solutions to the 5th challenge - reporting (and timing).
The five items are:

Access to data - you can't get all the data, or you can't get it quickly enough.
Low value - the analysis doesn't provide new insights.
False positives - too many of them; results are overwhelmingly noisy, distracting your focus.
Superficiality - the results are not deep enough to properly understand and refine the problems or to provide opportunities for improvement.
Reporting - the results are not available in time for reporting, the report is not tailored to the audience.

About this podcast
The podcast for performance auditors and internal auditors that use (or want to use) data.
Hosted by Conor McGarrity and Yusuf Moolla.

Embracing Internal Audit Evolution: A Conversation with Michael Drechnowicz , Head of Internal Audit at TK Elevator In this episode, Michael shares his insights on the evolution of IA in his role as Head of Internal Audit with a major player in the global elevator and escalator industry. His work demonstrates a shift from traditional finance-focus towards extensive business process coverage, ranging from sales to purchasing and fraud investigations.

Our guest is Cathy O'Neil, author of Weapons of Math Destruction: how big data increases inequality and threatens democracy. Cathy joined us to discuss critical aspects for auditors to consider, including: The human element: why understanding 'for whom an algorithm might fail' is more important than the detailed technical design of an algorithm. Algorithm testing: the importance of post-deployment testing to ensure there are no unintended adverse outcomes. Setting standards: the need for industry-wide standards so that regulators can ensure there is no bias or discrimination in how algorithms operate. Laggers and leaders: the four big industries/domains using algorithms that need to step up audit in their space and how law-makers and regulators are catching up. Emerging AI, e.g. language models/chatbots - why trust by users is key, and the pros and cons of using these models.

In this episode we discuss the use of the word "analysis" in the context of using data for audits. This is an attempt to define the "analysis phase" - or stop using it as the name of a phase - so that we can better structure our work. This is explored in more depth in our book, here: https://riskinsights.com.au/the-data-confident-internal-auditor About this podcast The podcast 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.
