CaseWare IDEA

IDEA for Windows is a powerful, easy to use productivity tool that allows you to display, analyse, manipulate, sample or extract data from files generated by a wide variety of computer systems, right on your desktop.

It gives you the power to select records which match your criteria, create a statistical sample using four different proven sampling techniques, check file totals and extensions, look for gaps in numerical sequences or duplicate documents or records, create looking reports and take on new types of engagements or assignments.

The strength of IDEA’s functions and features lets you accumulate a higher quality of audit evidence or perform a more complete analysis than you possibly do with manual procedures. You can sample the entire population instead of only a portion, total, subtotal, check extensions and look for exceptions in far larger groups of transactions.

 

IDEA also provides you with the ability to develop a better understanding of the data, while still in the planning stage of your audit or analysis. You spend much less time sifting through data, giving yourself more time to analyse the results and do further work if necessary.
