Organisations now store an enormous amount and variety of data, ranging from traditional financial data associated with sales and expenses to more unstructured data associated with video, weblogs, email, and tweets.
First of all, what big data is will be explained, with its challenges, risks, tools and implications for auditors.
Analytics is the process of analysing Big Data with the objective of drawing meaningful conclusions. Today’s data analytics expand auditors’ ability to tap into all types of information. The potential will be brought through a data mining case brought by Horsum.
