22 Cash Disbursement Data Analysis vs. Traditional Procedures Data Analysis Imported 100% of data Reconciled totals to F/S for Completeness Testing Summary Results that tie to F/S balances and compared to PY Run specific queries from which to make Risk Based selections for test work More efficient - Analysis FY 2013 procedure took only about 60% of the time of FY 2012 Traditional Procedure Random Sampling No Completeness Testing Less efficient
23 Consider How much data is collected in your organization? How quickly can you analyze the data for management decisions and internal risks? As Financial Director s do you believe you have your hands around all the organization s transactions?
