39 Know Your Numbers! Per caps % of Adults, children, passes, etc. Ticket yields % of online sales % of turnstile over/under or bad scans % of toll booth to admissions

40 Problem?

41 WANT TO DIG DEEPER? FORENSICS SCRIPTS

42 FORENSIC SCRIPTS Audit Command Language ACL is a tool that lets you read and analyze data.

43 FORENSIC AUDITING GL ACL allows you to integrate data from many sources to create meaningful information. Turnstiles Front Gate? Online Sales Inventory Cash Registers

44 FORENSIC AUDITING Specialty practice area of accountancy Engagements typically arise due to suspicions/ tips, proactive management of fraud risk, or in the aftermath of fraud Follow the money Analyze trends in data or numbers for suspicious patterns or ratios Target suspected areas of fraud, waste, or abuse

45 Case Study: Forensic Audit Theme park owners had a hunch that something was up in their revenue numbers. Reports were run but something still wasn t right.

46 Daily reports looked fine, everything seem to reconcile, no short/over s, coupons counts were right on.

47 STEP 1: Download POS Data into ACL STEP 2: Run queries

48 Weird? Cash vs. Credit

49 AM vs PM

50 One cashier!

51

52 CASE STUDY Objective: To analyze sales and admissions data to identify unusual trends or suspicious activity. Challenge: Sales and admissions data are all in different systems and need to be joined in order to identify potential issues. Point of sale system has great reports but you need something customized.

53 CASE STUDY Many systems used to capture activity GL: Daily summary/posting of sales activity Toll Booth: System that tracks entries into theme park Front Gate: System that records ticket sales & admissions Online System: System that records online transactions Group Sales: System that records Group sales Membership Sales: Season s passes/memberships Scanning System: scans and voided tickets Accounts Receivable: invoicing for group sales

54 CASE STUDY STEP 1: Understand Data Sources STEP 2: Download Data into ACL STEP 3: Run ACL Scripts Scripts were designed to connect the various sources of data: Toll Booth data, to Front Gate data, to Group Sales data to compare/analyze and to reconcile to GL activity, etc.

55 CASE STUDY Results: ACL linked and filtered data was exported into excel spreadsheets and pivot tables were created to identify unusual trends. A few unusual trends came out: -toll booth sales in some weeks were odd compared to turnstile scans. - some issues with group sales and invoicing - anomalies in season s passes.

56 CASE STUDY Results: Client reported that this analysis helped them catch over 9 thieves in 2 weeks using: 1. Data analysis 2. Mystery Shopper Program 3. Video Cameras Once scripts created, you can rerun them.
