Embracing Data Analytics to Improve Internal Audits w/ Yusuf Moolla

Why is data important in the audit process? And why should internal auditors approach data themselves? For several reasons, including that it helps improve audit quality and acquires better insights on a business. But there are many more causes that we uncover today.

Yusuf Moolla, Director and Co-Founder of Risk Insights, will help us understand the role of data in performance audits. Yusuf has over twenty years of experience in data and assurance. He previously worked for two Big Four firms, Deloitte and KPMG, leading audits and data projects worldwide. Yusuf is also the Co-Host of The Assurance Show, a podcast for internal auditors and performance auditors that focuses on data and risk, and Co-Author of The Data-Confident Internal Auditor.

In this episode, we discuss:

- Helping internal audit teams use data
- Why should CFOs support the use of audit data analytics?
- How does a successful audit find solutions across departments?
- Using data for more effectively and higher-quality audits
