New GTAG on Data Analysis from IIA

The IIA has published a new Global Technology Audit Guide, the 16th in a series. It is available for free download (IIA Members only) or purchase (for non-Members) at the following link.

Noteworthy in this GTAG is the use of a Maturity Model that outlines the progression from Basic Analytics through to Continuous Monitoring. While the model is simpler and less prescriptive than ours published previously (download WG&L article featuring Arrowpoint Capital here), we believe it represents important guidance to assist audit teams in advancing from "zero to 60" in the use of data analytics.

What do you think of the new GTAG? We'll provide more thoughts on this guidance next week...
