ACL 105 Foundations of ACL: Concepts and Practices
3 Days | CPE / CPD Credits: 25
 

Focus and Features

This three-day course is designed for experience ACL users. In an interactive, hands-on environment you will learn how to integrate ACL commands and expressions to accomplish complex data analysis tasks. You will also practice planning and executing a data analysis project by working through a series of case studies. Through this case-study approach you will learn how to effectively use ACL in real-life situations and discover what it means to think with ACL.

ACL 201 Data Analysis Techniques: An ACL Workshop
2 Days | CPE / CPD Credits: 16

 

Focus and Features

This two-day course is designed for experience ACL users. In an interactive, hands-on environment you will learn how to integrate ACL commands and expressions to accomplish complex data analysis tasks. You will also practice planning and executing a data analysis project by working through a series of case studies. Through this case-study approach you will learn how to effectively use ACL in real-life situations and discover what it means to think with ACL.

 

What Will You Learn

This course is divided into four modules, each consisting of a case study. The modules, which become progressively challenging, take you through the following data analysis phases:                                                                                     

 

• Objective Setting                             

Identifying the projects objectives in business and technical terms.

• Data Integrity                                        

Ensuring that the data does not contain corrupt elements and that the table layout  is correctly constructed. Testing for control totals, bounds, completeness, uniqueness, data relationships, and reliability.                                                                                             

• Planning                                                     

Determining the steps necessary to achieve objectives.

• Analysis                                                                    

Analyzing data to reveal exceptions                                                           

• Acess                                                                

Gaining physical and logical access by identifying location and format of required data.

• Reporting                                                             

Preparing the results for formal presentation.

 

 

ACL 303 Advance ACL Concepts and Techniques: Functions and Scripts
3 Days | CPE / CPD Credits: 25

Focus and Features

In this three-day course you will learn how to use ACL functions and scripts to gain new insight into your data and do more in less time. Functions let you investigate your data in ways you haven’t thought of before, adding power and detail to your analysis. Scripts let you automate routine ACL tasks, freeing up time to concentrate on activities that require critical thinking and judgment. Scripts also help preserve best practices, which prevents errors, and results in better controls in your organization.

ACL Certified trainers will show you how to implement scripts into your daily routine and they will guide you through activities that illustrate how to work with scripts and functions efficiently and easily.

 

Functions

You will learn how to use functions in computed fields and filters to perform:

Input validation

Data harmonization

Data cleansing

Data type conversion

String-specific or “wildcard” searches

Complex recalculations

Advanced data manipulation

Scripts

You will learn how to automate ACL processes by creating and running scripts. You will learn how to:

Create interactive scripts

Edit and run scripts

Create variables

Develop multi-line commands

Add processing efficiency and logic control to a script

Design simple, conditional, and nested groups

Course Method
This is a live, instructor-led course in a classroom setting. For in-class activities, participants use the latest version of ACL. The class size supports individual attention and development.

Who Should Attend
This training is designed for Financial, Operational, External Auditors, Information System Auditors, Audit Managers; prospective ACL users.
