OVERVIEW
The Purchasing and Accounts Payable cycles create a multitude of data that can be analyzed and tested for certain elements of possible fraud. Accounts Payable is considered the "checkbook" of the organization and therefore creates an area that without the proper control environment can be ripe for fraud.

There are simple ways to analyze large volumes of data that come from paying invoices. Understanding the data is the first step toward knowing what to look for. The course will spend some time discussing the use of Audit Control Language (ACL) and how this tool and other tools like it (IDEA) are helpful in the analysis of Accounts Payable and Purchasing data.
