Data Analysis

Data analysts and data scientists are becoming commonplace in most businesses nowadays and employing them on a full-time basis creates a severe financial burden to the management; this is where HLB HAMT and their data analysis professionals step in.

Understanding the whole world of big data in the business is challenging, but our experts have a proper  experience and understanding of three Vs in the Big Data

1. Volume (How to handle large quantities of data)
2. Velocity (Prompt dealing of data streams, which is at an unprecedented speed)
3. Variety (How to handle the different types of formats)

Data analytics is highly relevant, as companies and industries transform to take advantage of technological innovations. Data analytics is always confused as descriptive analysis. There are mainly 4 types of analytics;

1. Descriptive analytics– Provides insights based on historical information
2. Diagnostic analytics-  Reviews and examines the cause of historical results
3. Predictive analytics- Identifying the patterns of historical data and giving foresight for future
4. Prescriptive analytics- Identifying the best option to achieve business goals by using Machine learning and optimization techniques.

How the auditors are using the data analysis in their engagements

The auditors nowadays are focusing on running tests on all the transactions in general ledgers rather than samples. Now they can concentrate on the outliers or exceptions that are flagged as a result of data analysis.

• Monitor and improve business performance: Normally, the auditors compare the ratios and related benchmarks to compare the specific industry performances with the client’s performance. But now, with the help of the realtime reporting technology in data analytics, they can aggregate the data across all clients in a particular industry or geography and derive a meaningful benchmark and advice the client.
• Risk identification and management: Data analytics can help the auditors to see a bigger picture on the client data; like change in the customer behavior, red flags identifications, fraud activities, and predicting the economic trends.
• Improve client experience: as the data will be available realtime for data analytics, the auditors can analyze the data more often rather than monthly, quarterly or annual basis. As a result, the client can do regular interaction between the auditors to get valuable and accurate insights from their data.
