Under the case itself, there are three articles you can use to answer the 1st (first) requirement of the case. Also, then answer the 2nd (second) requirement. Following that, there is the actual data (sales and weather data) to be used to do the third case requirement. Remember, please do your own work, show all of your work, and explain your process to me in getting where you do for requirement #3 of the case (i.e. screenshots, explain in paragraph form, etc). This will be turned in through TurnItIn to check for plagiarism.

1. Read the articles assigned by your instructor to gain an understanding about how Big Data, data analytics, and new technologies are transforming external audits. After reading these articles, provide a response to the following two questions: a.

How does each item discussed improve the effectiveness and/or efficiency of the audit? b. On the other hand, what challenges do auditors face when using Big Data, data analytics, and new technologies during an audit?

3. Use the daily sales by location as provided by the client (2016 and 2015) and the weather data from NOAA to perform disaggregated sales analytics in Tableau.

Using the memo template in Appendix B, document your analyses and conclusions as to the specific daily sales from certain locations that you recommend selecting for focused substantive testing.
