Making Federal Financial Data More Reliable With Emerging Tech

Excerpt from the Proceedings of the Nineteenth Annual Acquisition Research SymposiumFederal agencies are stewards of billions in taxpayer funds. Given the scale of federal financial transactions, maintaining reliable, high-quality financial data can be challenging. The use of emerging technologies such as robotic process automation (RPA) and natural language processing can reduce manual work for agency employees and improve the consistency of financial data. These technologies are key to success on financial audits and maintaining public confidence in the reliability of procurement and nonprocurement financial information.Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited

The Implementation and Audit of Internal Controls Regarding the Use of XBRL for Financial Statements

XBRL is a global standard developed to aid in more accurate and efficient business reporting by capitalizing on interactive data. All business processes possess benefits and risk; including XBRL based financial reporting. Management and Internal Auditors must determine the risks associated and implement internal controls to mediate the indicated risks. This paper explores the risks and controls associated with XBRL. The research was completed through performing a literature review of professional and academic articles. This information was backed up with information gained from various accounting professionals in both the internal and external audit fields. The Capstone seeks to answer the question: To what degree is XBRL-based financial statements being reviewed by internal audit compared to the amount of risk assessment deserved on this process. This paper discusses the control options for process owners to implement and test to audit the effectiveness of such controls. The research ultimately found that internal audit and external audit do very little to ensure the financial accuracy of XBRL-based financial statements, whiles companies still have full liability over this interactive data. The ultimate goal is to inform internal audit professionals on the importance of implementing and testing controls within XBRL-based financial reporting.B.A. (Bachelor of Arts

Online dispute resolution: an artificial intelligence perspective

Litigation in court is still the main dispute resolution mode. However, given the amount and characteristics of the new disputes, mostly arising out of electronic contracting, courts are becoming slower and outdated. Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) recently emerged as a set of tools and techniques, supported by technology, aimed at facilitating conflict resolution. In this paper we present a critical evaluation on the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) based techniques in ODR. In order to fulfill this goal, we analyze a set of commercial providers (in this case twenty four) and some research projects (in this circumstance six). Supported by the results so far achieved, a new approach to deal with the problem of ODR is proposed, in which we take on some of the problems identified in the current state of the art in linking ODR and AI.The work described in this paper is included in TIARAC - Telematics and Artificial Intelligence in Alternative Conflict Resolution Project (PTDC/JUR/71354/2006), which is a research project supported by FCT (Science & Technology Foundation), Portugal.

On-screen electronic forms design: Graphical elements vs. straight data entry formats

Electronic forms is an emerging market that is being incorporated into daily use in many corporations and small businesses. In the transition from paper forms to electronic forms many users are merely recreating the paper forms digitally to create an exact replica on screen. This is being done through the utilization of page layout programs such as QuarkXpress and PageMaker as well as through the aid of electronic forms software programs available today. These software programs aid the user with forms design, often providing templates of forms that are in a graphical format containing rules, logos, and other graphically embellishing elements. The electronic forms industry is also moving towards a workgroup computing environment where intelligent forms can automatically be sent electronically to other users in the workplace without ever printing onto paper. However, the graphic elements involved in the electronic forms of today can slow down networks and require many bytes of memory for storage especially in major corporations who may have thousands of forms on file. A comparison of the graphically embellished form versus a straight data-entry questions only form format needs to be researched. The purpose of this thesis project is to provide the electronic forms industry with knowledge as to the advantages and disadvantages of both a graphical form and a straight data-entry form. This research also performed a series of tests as to the timeliness, accuracy of data entered, and user\u27s preference for both graphically embellished forms and straight questions-only forms
