ACL Audit Exchange (AX) Custom Workshop

Designed specifically for experienced ACL users, this two day hands-on course introduces the audit or business assurance team to the complete Analytics Exchange (AX) solution. Using examples that follow the traditional assurance cycle from initial planning through reporting and follow-up, your team will learn how to interact with AX to increase team efficiency and effectiveness using the AX platform. Hands-on examples used in the class will illustrate how ACL software can provide immediate value to your audits and other business reviews.

In addition to introducing the fundamentals of using AX, this course also teaches basic ACL scripting to be used for developing analytics optimised for use in the AX environment. You will learn how to import data and results tables into AX for ad-hoc server analysis or continuous auditing and monitoring use, and how to transfer the results of tests performed offline into AX for team collaboration and further server-side analysis. Instructors will share best practices for designing, testing, and managing Analytic logic, both for analytics intended to be run interactively by a wide range of Analytics Exchange users, and those designed to be scheduled for automatic server processing.
