Forecasting Techniques Auditing and Assurance
3 days|Delivered on request
This programme is written from the assurance side. Delegates learn to test whether KPI definition and visual encoding choices are working as claimed, and how to evidence the conclusion. Assurance work is under scrutiny because reporting effort scales badly when the underlying model is wrong. Delegates leave able to work confidently with scenario modelling, self service analytics and pivot table analysis in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
