  1. I recently purchased this book and found it to be an excellent collection of success stories on how data analytics can be applied to different audit scenarios. Dave provides specific logic and ACL commands behind each of his analytics and the dollars that he has saved his companies through the use of ACL is quite impressive. If you’re looking to get some inspiration on where to go with your next analytic project, this should definitely be on your reading list!

  2. Highly recommended. How do we use this book? We read several chapters per week and then meet to go through the lessons learned and discuss what we can use/implement. I’ve also quoted from this book at a few presentations. The book is not heavy in technical material but is good balance of great ideas, words of wisdom and the history of an experienced data analyst.
