Course Overview
This 2 day course, combined with ‘CI101 Introduction to IDEA Data Analysis’ , is designed to incorporate all IDEA functionality required to pass the new CaseWare certification examination.
Delegates gain experience in using CaseWare IDEA 10 to solve problems beyond the basics of ‘who spent what’ and calculation cross-checks, enabling them to offer value added CAAT audits to their organisations.
The course comprises 3 comprehensive audit / testing scenarios over two days with a significant amount of ‘best practice’ input from our tutors. CAAT training requires data of sufficient breadth and complexity to emulate the connections that exist within ‘live’ data. We have spent significant time building multiple datasets that are more reflective of the real world. This new Intermediate Course allows delegates to explore data complexity and relationships for themselves and training includes industry standard CAAT tests such as those outlined by David Coderre, author of ‘Internal Audit’ and ‘Computer Aided Fraud – Prevention and Detection’.
The strength of this CIDA intermediate level course lies in the application of both basic and advanced analytical techniques to enable delegates to utilise IDEA 10 to solve their own complex problems.
Our aim is to guide delegates to the scenario solutions whilst equipping them with the ability to create their own value added testing scenarios on their return to the office.
The course is recognised by the CPD Institute and has a value of 7 hours.
Delegate Requirements
Delegates should be fully conversant with the CIDA foundation level functionality covered in ”CI101 Introduction to IDEA Data Analysis’, e.g. Summarisation, Stratification, basic Database Connectivity (Joins) and basic Data Manipulation (Equation Editor) – see Foundation Course Contents for further detail. Intermediate Training builds rapidly on the basics as we move swiftly into more advanced testing scenarios.
Delegates are expected to be self-starters who are confident at ‘having a go’ at solving more complex data relationships. However, the course is designed to ensure that no-one is left behind. At each stage of increasing complexity, solutions are provided to enable every delegate to keep on track and follow best practice.
