Live again from Rutgers - 21st World Continuous Auditing Symposium

Wow, has it been nearly four months since I've blogged? Good news is that my brevity is improving. For those of you that don't follow me on Twitter ( @VisualRiskIQ or www.Twitter.com/VisualRiskIQ ), I've been at least fairly busy reporting on Fraud, FCPA, and especially Higher Ed operational and compliance issues in the news that can be positively influenced by Continuous Auditing (CA) and Continuous Monitoring (CM) applications.

Our firm continues its implementation of CA and CM for a variety of corporate, higher ed, and non-governmental organizations, and we continue to see an uptick in investment in the still-emerging technology. With that said, it's slow and cautious investment, at least in part because the return on these investments can be mixed, especially if they are seen as technology purchases and not fuller, solution-focused change initiatives that involve people, process, and technology.

The Rutgers Conference is a confluence of academia, external auditors, software firms, and internal audit customers of data analytics, so it is a very interesting venue. I look forward to documenting some of the soundbytes and lessons learned for folks who have not been fortunate enough to attend. For those in attendance, I welcome any comments or corrections to the notes that I'll be taking.
