USAGE: These tools are tailor-made for auditors, enabling them to efficiently analyze data through extraction, sorting, sampling, and comparison. They excel in handling large and varied datasets, making them versatile for various audit tasks. @infosectrain

  4. www.infosectrain.com #learntorise MICROSOFT EXCEL EXAMPLES: ACL (Audit Command Language) or IDEA (Interactive Data Extraction and Analysis) USAGE: Widely used for data analysis in smaller audits or for less complex data. Excel's functions and formulas facilitate data sorting, filtering, and analysis. Pivot tables and VLOOKUP functions are handy for matching and comparing datasets. @infosectrain

  5. www.infosectrain.com #learntorise DATA VISUALIZATION TOOLS EXAMPLES: Tableau, Microsoft Power BI, and QlikView.
