When to use CAATs/Data Analytics/BI?
Mathematics is exact but
Statistics is approximate
Data is dumb but
information is intelligent
Data Analysis is about
leveraging human
intelligence
Inference requires more
application of intelligence
Drawing inference from
data analytics is based on
applying human
intelligence to technology
to get required results.
Immense computing
power helps blend the
power of computers with
intelligence to interpret
what data is.
Using Data Analytics is an Art and a Science
Data Analytics is an art requires
understanding of business
process and application of
techniques to specific areas of
control to identify:
CAs are best suited to Perform
Data Analytics with their core
competencies in the areas of:
• Conformance
• Deviations
• Exceptions
• Variances
• Business processes,
• Compliances,
• Assurance and Finance
We empower CAs with the Key Knowledge and Skills (the science) of Data Analytics
which is critical to Apply to Digital data (the art) to provide Value Addition.

creation of fictitious employees can result in financial loss if
payments are to be made to these non-employees.
Risk
• Identifies employees with the same address. Note: Married
employees or those cohabiting may be false positives.
Procedure
• Extracts all employee master files and analyses the residential
addresses of employees for duplicates.
Analytic Logic
Area: Employees with the Same Name
• Employees with the same details should be investigated. These
instances may indicate errors with employee master data or
fictitiously created employees.
Context
• Incomplete and/or incorrect employee master file data or the
creation of fictitious employees can result in financial loss if
payments are to be made to these non-employees.
Risk
• Identifies employees with the same first name and surname.
Procedure

fictitious employees can result in financial loss if payments are to be
made to these non-employees.
Risk
• Identifies duplicate Personal Identification Numbers.
Procedure
• Extracts and analyses all employee master data records and highlights all
records where duplicate Personal Identification Numbers exist.
Analytic Logic
Area: Invalid Personal Identification Nos.
• Complete and accurate data is essential for accuracy of transactional execution as
well as providing a sound basis for governance checks. Critical data fields should
be complete and valid for all employees to achieve these objectives.

fraudulent payments.
Risk
• Identifies invalid Personal Identification Numbers.
Procedure
• Extracts all the employee records and analyses the Personal Identification
Numbers field to ensure it meets the correct format for the selected country.

during normal business hours. Changes made over a weekend should
be investigated as this could indicate possible suspicious activity.
Context
• Unauthorised and/or invalid employee master data changes.
Risk
• Identifies employee master changes made over a weekend. Note:
Possible false positives due to hard cut-off dates for capturing of
employee information for payroll.
Procedure
• Extracts the system dates attached to a change and analyses change
dates to employee master data that corresponds to a weekend day.
Analytic Logic
