Data Analytics for Auditing using ACL

Computerized audit practice set, including and using an education version that is a fully operational version of ACL. It is the same as the commercially available ACL software except for a 6-month time limit.

The objective of these materials is to help students with an interest in auditing learn how to apply ACL audit software to solve audit problems. The materials are designed to first help students learn how to use ACL and then use the software on increasingly complex problems. Early chapters provide installation, familiarization and practice and are followed by four chapters of assignment and cases that require students to apply ACL. The first three of these later chapters are organized like most auditing texts: planning the audit, tests of controls and substantive tests of transactions, and tests of balances. The fourth is about forensic auditing.

Included in the Package:

• Fully operational version of ACL for Windows (not compatible with Mac). Download access to the same software sold by ACL to users throughout the world, but with a 6-month time limit. Access also includes all data files needed to complete the assignments, including many customized data sets.
• The Instructions and Assignments. Includes instructions and assistance to complete each assignment. All assignment pages are one-sided tear-outs to facilitate handing in and grading.
• The Reference Material which provides detailed instructions to perform filters, computed fields, and all ACL commands. Helps students complete assigned problems and cases efficiently, especially the more complex ones.
