Hi Mike,
I attended this webinar and found the techniques very useful. For example, the relationships between income and expenses, and trending the results over time to point out unusual spikes where auditors can focus their efforts. The speaker also stressed the need to look at the relationships between people in the organization (related or not) that can sometimes lead to collusion. As accountants and auditors, we tend to focus on the book of records as the starting point to the process. This seminar provided different methods for looking at the data which was quite useful.
Thanks for suggesting the webinar.
