    One example of specific scenario in [CaseWare] IDEA is the ability to run samples separately and then based off of the results, compare and contrast the values recorded and easily discern if there are any variables or discrepancies within the data itself. Also, we can test journal entries with certain parameters to check the audit for any issues that may arise pertaining to the criteria. By testing, we are able to make sure the data is accurate and sufficient.

    Neustar IP Intelligence is quick to deploy using their REST API, the data is automatically updated against one of the most robust datasets available on the market. It is well suited for developers trying to integrate with an out-of-the-box solution to lookup geolocation of website visitors in real time, and possibly build alerts or 2F-Authentication mechanisms based on suspicious activity.

    Pros
    Caseware International Inc.
    • Easy to understand and easy to use.
    • Can use on large quantities of data and quickly analyze them.
    • Uses logic that can be followed if one is an auditor. I, for example, could understand the logic in a number of samples, i.e how the number of samples thrown changes when risk changes from low to moderate in proportion taking in consideration the materiality.
    • Other audit firms are using 2 software for the process that IDEA alone can do. So IDEA has a definite advantage here.
    • Customizable by the company.

    • Helps detect fraud if a user has signed in from California only, then attempts to login from another country are made.
    • Increase sales conversions by understanding geolocation of website visitors
    • If your datacenters are georedundant, allows engineers to see where majority of traffic is generated and load balance accordingly.

    I would rate it a 9 because I never really needed support on this but if I did, there was the necessary support given promptly.

    Alternatives Considered
    Caseware International Inc.
    I have used Microstart and would definitely vote for IDEA because IDEA combines what Microstart does with the help of one/more softwares. Where Microstart just gives a number of samples, IDEA selects the number of samples based on materiality, risk, and other factors. It selects those samples from the population leaving out line items that are invalid/ zero. I would prefer using IDEA any day.

    Google has an open source version of this, but its updates are based on the user community. Since Neustar's IP Intelligence is a paid solution, the updates are regular, the interface is streamlined with a REST API, and there is a help desk you can consult for onboarding and questions if there are issues.
