Forensic Analytics |
[This is preliminary documentation and is subject to change.]
This topic contains the following sections:
The purpose of this tutorial is to help you understand how to build an analytic application with eety, using techniques for forensic accounting investigations. In this case, the data to be analyzed are extracted from an Ms Access database and a first digit analysis is run on the paid amount.
Create an application solution:
|
Access 2007 database with the Invoices Paid table can be exported from Mark J. Nigrini site.
Eety provides an Access connector to extract the table
To create an Access connection:
|
Double click on Invoices in Solution Explorer.
Expand the tree nodes in Connection Explorer on the left side.
Double click on tblInvoicesPaid.
Check the rows in the bottom Sample tab.Fill the dialog box with the relevant values.
One single model shares its elements with all the components in the application. This is a logical business model with tables, columns and relationships mapped to the data sources corresponding elements. At runtime, data extracted from the data sources is stored into these elements, starting an integration or analysis pipeline.
In this example, we will:
Create a new extraction mapping.
Create and map a new class with the Access tblInvoicesPaid table.
Rename the tblInvoicesPaid class.
Right click on the Mappings node, in the Solution Explorer pane.
Add a new Extraction type mapping.
Optionally, double click the New mapping node in Solution Explorer pane.
Expand the Invoices node in the Data Sources pane.
Click the tblInvoicesPaid table below main.
Click in the toolbar to create and map a new table.
Double click the New Model node in top of Solution Explorer.
Expand InvoicesPaid node in Model Explorer.
Select tblInvoicesPaid, press F2 and rename it Invoice.
Rename the New Model node Invoices.
To add an analysis workflow:
|
We want to release all the analysis reports as html views and browse them into a dedicated web site.
Expand the Analysis node in Solution Explorer pane.
Double Click Report.
Click Invoices in the model tree on the left pane.
Click Add new button on the right of the toolbar.
Select Web Application on the left of the Reporting dialog box.
Click the site templates button on the bottom of the box.
Select the jquery+bootstrap+highcharts.etpl template file in the dialog box.
Click Open.
Fill the dialog box with the relevant values:
Click OK.
Check the added items:
Click Invoices in the model tree on the left pane of the Reporting stage page.
Double click the button in the bottom toolbar of the center pane.
Click the button on the right of Start Application in the listbox.
