Abstract

This case helps you get “Clued” in to audit analytics to identify employee fraud. ABC Theaters has been operating for 100 years and currently operates in 500 US locations. As part of the annual audit process, one location has been flagged due to the continued decrease in sales revenue. In particular, ticket sales revenue has been relatively steady, but concession stand revenue has declined when it should correlate to ticket sales. You utilize a large Excel file first to consider how various types of fraud might be prevented and detected in this scenario and then use audit analytics to determine possible reasons for the decreasing concession stand revenues. Finally, you write a professional memo with supporting visualizations to their supervisor to detail their findings.
