Big Data Case Study: What Forensic Accountants Need to Know. - 4 0 16; 5 Journal of Accountancy. 219 (3) : March 2015. pp. 33
Abstract : Although the buzz about Big Data has certainly been growing, electronic data analysis, which topped this year's list of top issues for FVS practitioners, is not new to CPAs in this area. The important changes that have moved data analysis to center stage include new technologies that support greater data mining, and the fact that clients have developed a more sophisticated understanding of its potential. Tim Bryan, CPA/CFF/CITP, a forensic accounting and technology services senior manager at Crowe Horwath, recommended that CPAs take some data analysis courses related to Big Data. He said that when clients need data analysis, they think of CPAs, and they expect them to have the skill set to get it done.
