,Lecture 1 – Introduction
Today’s agenda
- Data-analytics is not new
- But changes in recent years
1. The world is changing
2. Technological developments
3. Increased value of data
4. Changing role and expectations of a controller/auditor
- Course logistics
Formal Course objectives
- Explain the impact of data driven technological innovation on internal control, and more
specifically on the way assurance professionals achieve assurance about (non) financial
information.
- Identify opportunities and threats for organizations related to the application of data driven
assurance solutions, based on the specific organizational purpose, strategy and
contingencies.
- Understand and apply modern data analysis techniques for assurance purposes.
- Identify and discuss the influence of characteristics of the internal environment of
organizations, such as culture, ethics, relevant laws and regulation, strategy and governance
structure, on the application of data drive assurance in these organizations.
Learning objectives
- The controller/auditor relies on work of experts (tax, legal, valuation, IT)
- However, you must combine inputs from different domains to come to a consistent,
coherent result.
- Essential to have a high-level understanding of the essential elements of IT and data
throughout organizaitons, processes and risks
- In practice: employers and clients highly value skills and understanding in this area.
Why Both ITIC and DDC?
- Even though they overlap, they are not the same thing (IT and data)
- Both fields of knowledge are continuously growing
- Importance for (internal) control, assurance and audit have been increasing for many years,
and will likely continue to do so
- Overlap in topics have been eliminated/minimized through alignment between the two
courses.

The world is changing
Increased complexity

What does data mean for the organizations mentioned before?
Technological developments
Moore’s law, the capacity in your laptop doubles every 18 months. When you buy a laptop for 1000
dollar. You can buy next year a laptop for 1000 dollar with more calucation capacity
