Audit Data Analytics issues are of universal concern and are an area of
interest among professionals and academics involved in risk assessment,
control assessment, analytical review and detailed testing. Professional
bodies around the world have issued guides but there is little academic
research on the strengths and weaknesses of the various ADA methods and
techniques proposed. This special issue will bring together several papers
on diverse topics in ADA and encourage expanded interest in this area among
researchers and educators.



This issue seeks to publish papers that address the following questions. A
wide range of methodologies are welcomed:

·        Detailed Testing Analytics – 100% vs. sampling

·        Big Data Analytics for Auditors

·        Use/acceptance of ADA tools

·        Effect of ADA Adoption on Auditing Process

·        Fraud Detection Analytics

·        Process Mining

·        Visualization Techniques for Auditors

·        Unstructured Data Analytics

·        Substantive Analytical Procedures

·        ADA and Auditing Standards



While these represent some major questions that need to be answered, other
quality work on ADA will certainly be considered.
