Data Harvesting and R Essentials is a comprehensive course designed to equip learners with the necessary skills to leverage data analytics within Internal Audit (IA) functions. The curriculum delves into the transformative impact of data analytics on performance, cost, accuracy, and innovation, providing a clear understanding of how these improvements can be achieved through an insight-driven IA model. The course covers various analytical approaches including descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive analytics, as well as the deployment of Data Analytics (DA) through a structured four-phase approach. Participants will engage in hands-on exercises assessing DA maturity, customer segmentation, and creating recommenders using R programming language. Further exploration into hypothesis testing and variance using R will solidify foundational knowledge in statistical methods such as Chi-square, Binomial testing, P and T-testing, as well as ANOVA. The course also emphasizes the application of linear models and regression techniques to fit complex data sets and avoid overfitting. Advanced topics like ARIMA for time series analysis highlight cyclicality, seasonality, and trends crucial for predictive analytics. Through case studies and practical applications in areas like customer segmentation and predictive analytics using Python alongside R, learners will gain insights into clustering and classification techniques essential for identifying potential customers. The course culminates with an emphasis on the roles and responsibilities within DA IAG teams and tools used for big data storage and visualization.
