Forecasting Techniques Auditing and Assurance
Data and Business Intelligence|3 days|Classroom or live online
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
- Put scenario modelling on a footing they can defend to a reviewer, measured against recognised data governance frameworks
- Explain self service analytics to someone who does not do the work
- Review pivot table analysis and say plainly whether it is working
- Bring forecasting techniques into line with current good practice
