Comprehensive Reporting Capabilities That Every Auditor Needs

When most auditors think about using data visualization, the obvious place is at the end of the audit to present findings to key stakeholders and management in a visual format to give a better understanding of risks within the organization. Data visualization is equally effective at the beginning when scoping the audit and conducting a risk assessment. When working with a finite amount of time and resources, you’ll need to adjust your scope accordingly, which is where data visualization can save hours of effort.

See how IDEA empowers auditors with comprehensive reporting capabilities including powerful data visualization, collaboration with team members and clients and seamless integrations with other systems and tools. 

Powerful Data Visualization

Data Visualization in IDEA consists of 2 features: Discover and Visualize. Discover quickly captures anomalies and visually profiles databases, making auditing and investigative work easier. Discover maps information through IDEA’s Analytic Intelligence, detects outliers and auto-populates the dashboard as charts or field statistics. Visualize helps you monitor trends and auto-stratify data with customized dashboards. Insights are presented as visuals so you can identify areas that need investigation.
 
In addition, IDEA also integrates with third party applications like PowerBI, Tableau, Excel, etc. using ODBC for further analysis.
