Internal auditors regularly access
organization information for audit purposes. Many organizations now maintain
computerized data warehouses containing useful management and financial
information for auditors. Auditors therefore need to understand both the
concepts of data warehousing as well as data mining techniques. Data
warehousing is a process for assembling and managing data from various
sources for the purpose of gaining a single, detailed view of part or all of
a business. Data mining is the use of automated tools to explore and analyze
large amounts of data stored in those data warehouses. This page attempts to
provide members of the AuditNet®
community with resources for both data warehousing and data mining. If you
