Rabobank has built a KNIME component to help auditors apply isolation forest (anomaly detection) machine learning themselves. In this use case, they have applied it to the area of anti-money laundering, where they are using it to uncover unknown patterns rather than the usual known patterns in an effort to reduce money laundering activities.
Presented by: Michiel Krol, Rabobank
KNIME is a very useful tool to support data analysis in audit departments. A key factor for success is the combination of a subject matter expert and data analyst. Data driven audits are sometimes a struggle, but can also be very rewarding and fun! Eddy has been Senior Auditor at Tata Steel Europe since 2003, and prior to this worked for twelve years at KPMG as a Chartered Accountant and IT-Auditor.
Presented by: Eddy van der Geest, Tata Steel Europe
The panel discussion covers topics such as whether the drive to implement analytics into audit is rather a top-down management request, or intrinsic motivation from enthusiastic auditing experts. How to handle resistance in applying analytics in the auditing space. And lastly, what the minimum skills are for an auditor to have in order to get started with KNIME.
All panelists. Moderated by: Mihály Medzihradszky, KNIME
