Current Attempt in Progress Your answer is incorrect. Machine learning is a technique and approach that is becoming increasingly prevalent in the world of auditing. Which of the following represents the best example of a scenario whereby machine learning could be used effectively? An auditor wishes to improve the response rate for accounts receivable positive confirmations. An auditor wishes to identify unauthorized revenue transactions in a client's general ledger. A Chief Financial Officer wishes to ensure that all bad debt expense write offs are personally approved by him before being authorized. None of these answer choices are correct.

QUESTION 9 Your company is launching a new service. Research indicates that if you target a specific demographic of your customers with mailers detailing the service, the rate of responses would increase. This is compared to the baseline of responses you will likely receive if you send out mailers without predictive models. You would like to know what percentage of the demographic should be targeted to yield the best results. Which predictive performance method can you use to determine the best outcome? A. Classification Matrix B. Lift Curve C. Mean Absolute Error D. ROC Curve E. Total Sum of Squared Errors QUESTION 10 In what circumstance is a business analyst most likely to accept a statistical model with an asymmetric misclassification rate? A. The specificity of the classifier is high; therefore, the analyst may be confident that records of lesser importance are rarely intermingled within the class of primary interest. B. The sensitivity of the classifier is high; therefore, the analyst may be confident that records of primary importance are rarely misclassified. C. Attempting to reduce the rate of error may have ethical implications. D. The cost associated with the misclassification of records with the high error rate is nominal. E. There’s no better model available; therefore, the risks of misclassification must be accepted as mandated by governmental regulations. QUESTION 11 Which of the following statements about data mining is FALSE? A. Intelligence agencies might use data mining to determine which of a huge quantity of intercepted communications are of interest. B. One can use logistic regression to identify which medical reimbursement applications have a higher probability of involving fraud. C. If applied correctly, all data mining methods lead to the same results. D. Linear regression can be used to predict a quantitative variable. E. Predictive analytics involves tasks such as classification and prediction that can produce business intelligence.

BE 8-5 (LO 8.1, LO 8.4, LO 8.5, LO 8.6, LO 8.7) Match the analytics type (descriptive, diagnostic, predictive, or prescriptive) and branch of accounting (financial, managerial, audit, or tax) to the analytics technique used. Analytics Technique Used: 1. Classification to accept or reject audit clients 2. Time series analysis to forecast sales 3. Common-size financial statements 4. Regression to assess the company's cost structure (determine fixed costs and variable costs) 5. Goal-seek analysis to identify the break-even point 6. Sequence checks assessing missing transactions 7. Vertical analysis for investors to compare a company to its peers
