Data Analytics for Internal Auditors

Data Analytics for Internal Auditors

There are many webinars and training courses on Data Analytics for Internal Auditors but no handbook written from the practitioner’s viewpoint covering not only the need and the theory but a practical hands-on approach to conducting Data Analytics. The spread of IT systems makes it necessary that auditors as well as management have the ability to examine high volumes of data and transactions to determine patterns and trends. The increasing need to continuously monitor and audit IT systems has created an imperative for the effective use of appropriate data mining tools. This book takes an auditor from a zero base to an ability to professionally analyze corporate data seeking anomalies.

The Art and Science of Expert Witness Testimony A Multidisciplinary Guide for Professionals

The Art and Science of Expert Witness Testimony A Multidisciplinary Guide for Professionals

Featuring in-depth interviews of attorneys judges and seasoned forensic experts from multiple disciplines including psychology medicine economics history and neuropsychology The Art and Science of Expert Witness Testimony highlights and offers bridges for the areas where the needs and expectations of the courtroom collide with experts’ communication habits developed over years of academic and professional training. Rather than seeing testimony as a one-way download from expert to jurors The Art and Science of Expert Witness Testimony focuses on the direct dynamic unique communication relationship that develops as each juror’s lived experience interacts with the words of experts on the stand. This book expands the academic tradition of methods-centered credibility to also include person-centered credibility where warmth confidence and relentless attention to detail build trust with jurors. Seasoned forensic experts share what they actually say on the stand: their best strategies and techniques for disrupting traditional academic communication and creating access to science and professional opinions with vivid clear language and strong visuals. The difficult but necessary emotional work of the courtroom is addressed with specific techniques to regulate emotions in order to maintain person-centered credibility and keep the needs of jurors front and center through cross-examination. This innovative compilation of research is essential reading for professionals and practitioners such as physicians engineers accountants and scientists that may find themselves experts in a courtroom. The Art and Science of Expert Witness Testimony provides a unique experience for readers akin to being personally mentored by over eighty-five attorneys judges and seasoned experts as they share their observations insights and strategies—not to win as a defense prosecution or plaintiff expert but to be productive in helping jurors and other triers of fact do their difficult intellectual job in deciding a case. | The Art and Science of Expert Witness Testimony A Multidisciplinary Guide for Professionals
