Data Analytics

1. Do you know which analytical tool is the most popular audit analytics solution the world-wide?   See the attached The 2006 Internal Auditor Software Survey Results for details. 

2. The latest version of ACL (V9.1) released in Jan 2008 is able to import PDF file; however, based on my experience, only fixed length PDF file is able to import to ACL properly.   Most of time, PDF files cannot be imported properly (i.e., in alignment).

Governance Think Tank Notes

Attached are notes from the first chapter think tank, where we considered the definition of governance.

Members are invited to propose a think tank topic, which can be on anything relevant to assurance, security, and governance, including issues that you are personally tackling in your organisation.

The format of think tanks is that the proposer presents a topic or issue for 5 to 10 minutes followed by discussion. This is a superb opportunity to exchange ideas and experiences and to essentially bring a collection of brainpower to bear on a subject.
