Like nearly every other profession in the business world, internal audit and other controls & assurance functions have been forced to cope with the extraordinary environment brought about by COVID-19. Skills, methods and tools that have been advanced and adopting gradually over the past several years suddenly became critical for successful performance. One key area of learning from the pandemic is the importance of making the best possible use of data and digital tools.
So, imagine if you could use your transactional data to reveal how processes are actually working and automatically identify instances of deviation from desired processes, control failure, control design deficiency or operational ineffectiveness.

- Explain how process mining helps identify not just “what” went wrong but “to what extent” and “why”;

- Have an appreciation for what is possible when it comes to analytics and continuous monitoring of transactional data.
