Databases supported include both MS-Access, SQLite and MySQL.

Included in this section are descriptions of some of the more common audit techniques which can be applied. Each technique has a brief description of the procedure that could be used. In some cases a short video tutorial is also provided. These video tutorials vary in length from about 90 seconds up to a little more that three minutes. For best results, a high speed internet connection is recommended (although not required).
The auditor should keep in mind that for many of the test objectives, there are additional approaches which can be taken. All of the topics assume that the data being audited is available in either Excel, Access or as a text file.
The software has the familiar "look and feel" of Windows and does not require specific knowledge of Access, Excel or other data source in order to use.
The software is can produce a variety of charts to help visualize the analytical results.
The system has certain limitations. Please complete a survey on software needs.
