SuperStrategies 2009 Reflections

Kim and I spoke at SuperStrategies 2009 in Las Vegas last week, where our topic was Finding Money and Detecting Fraud with Transaction Monitoring. The session was well-attended and provided some nice opportunities to meet some new friends and prospects, as well as connect with several alliance partners, including ACL, IDEA, and Oversight Systems.

Our conference presentation is available for download on LinkedIn and SlideShare.

Data analysis and continuous auditing clearly remained top of mind for most internal audit and ERM executives, especially as firms are all challenged to do more with less. A number of excellent presenters also shared their experience in the area, including RLI Insurance, HCA, and Continental Airlines. It was especially encouraging to hear the keynote panel's predictions for the future, and have each point toward data analysis and continuous auditing as a continued area of focus.

Conference takeaways related to data analysis included: ; comparing relative size factor on invoices and PO's (HCA); team award for the data analytic innovation of the month (Bristol-Myers Squibb); Geocoding and Q-grams (RLI); and reading your competitors' 10K for risk assessment input factors (Protiviti).
