What is Data Analytics?

What is data analytics


A practical definition, however, would be that analytics is the process of obtaining an optimal or realistic decision based on existing data. (Wikipedia) Data analytics is the science of examining raw data with the purpose of drawing conclusion about that information. (Whatis.com) Analytics leverage data in a particular functional process (or application) to enable context-specific insight that is actionable. (Gartner)

Data analytics in the context of risk management

Opportunity for using data analytics in managing risks


Explosive data growth means more raw materials Innovation in data generation and capture Data supports fact-based decision making Already used extensively in many areas of business Data analytics focusing on risks are primarily used in the areas of credit risk, anti-money laundering and fraud

Data analytics has significant potential to be exploited in the internal audit and risk management space
11 IIA Thailand - Annual Conference 2011 2011 Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Jaiyos

What will the future hold


Will Board and Management be asking us to back up our gut feel on risk with hard data? Will the C-Suite want to understand the key risk factors and their relative importance in real numbers? Will Management have even greater responsibility to foresee future risks long before they manifest themselves? Will data analytics be a core competency for all risk professionals?

Data analytics is a business tool that will be pervasive in our organizations

Deloitte Analytics: Risk Management Domain Continuous Monitoring (CM) is an automated, ongoing process that enables management to: Assess the effectiveness of controls and detect associated risk issues Improve business processes and activities while adhering to ethic & compliance standards Execute more timely quantitative and qualitative risk-related decisions Increase the cost-effectiveness of controls and monitoring through IT solutions.

The value of CM is that it gives management greater visibility into, and more timely information on, business processes designed to achieve strategic and operational goals.

Deloitte Analytics: Risk Management Domain Continuous Auditing (CA) is an automated, ongoing process that enables internal audit to: Collect from processes, transactions and accounts data that supports internal and external auditing activities Achieve more timely, less costly compliance with policies, procedures and regulations Shift from cyclical or episodic reviews with limited focus to continuous, broader, more proactive reviews Evolve from a traditional, static annual audit plan to a more dynamic plan based on CA results Reduce audit costs while increasing effectiveness through IT Solutions The value of CA is that it enables internal audit to move from sampling accounts and transactions to coverage of 100 percent of accounts and transactions.
19 IIA Thailand - Annual Conference 2011 2011 Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Jaiyos

Barriers to CM & CA Adoption


Perceived impact on the enterprise impacts on costs, headcount, audit plans, workload, quality of audits & stakeholder satisfaction Priority of implementation factors to be considered, such as risk rankings, importance of audit evidence, return on investment and ease of implementation Internal audits readiness to develop and adopt CA depend on business cycle, audit focus & use of automation IT & software considerations Realistic expectations benefits are not achieved overnight
