Successful Audit Data Analytics - ITP250 Reviews

Please fix the lab functions

Without having experience of using data analytics, it was difficult at times to keep up with the demonstrations in the software. However, teaching the theory and logic, not just how to perform tasks in the software, was very beneficial.

I was hoping for more insights into raw data management. When I selected this course, the description came from MISTI not ACI. It may be that the description changed between the company switch, I don't know. Many DA courses focus on data extracts from production systems, and while I understand the intent, when 80-95% of data analytics is cleaning and organizing data, there should be a place in these type of courses that focuses on dealing with various types of data. Ideas such as how to verify the data source, import techniques for tough data sources such as PDFs, or other data types, and how to clean that data. Tom gave a couple of examples, but I think overall there should be more or a second class maybe one or two days that focuses on desperate data sets, how to organize and document them. It may be mute because there is not a lot of demand for it, but within the government there is. This is great class for someone who is new to DA. I will suggest it if asked.

I thought the course was good, but time was not managed well at times.

Provided some good script ideas as well as template ideas (pseudoocode) to implement in our data analytics program

Instructor was knowledgeable and personable and I learned things I should know. To some extent the material was geared toward different industries, so not ideal, but it was good.

This course was well worth the time. It gave direction on how to use the various software programs (ACL & Tableau) together to identify areas for further examination.

Great foundation information for introducing a data analytics program into audit function. Good start on hands on learning, but could provide further hands on examples of tools.

This class is too technical for me since I don't know macros and wrting script. The instructor provided us with some good online resources to enhance our knowledge regarding new tools to perform data analytic.

Need to have vegetarian option if serving foods.
