Course Description

Course publication/revision date: This course was updated on 8/15/2023.

Errors and fraudulent transactions can be remarkably difficult to spot. In the Forensic Analytics course, we provide a number of tools for teasing out these problem transactions from the masses of data in which they are normally hidden. Techniques covered include Benford’s Law, outlier analysis, round numbers analysis, growth spurt analysis, policy threshold analysis, and time-series analysis. The course also gives extensive coverage to the process of importing data into Excel, so that these analyses can be conducted.
