Good for accounting researchers
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I'm an accounting researcher who is passionate about producing new knowledge for the accounting profession. I use the Ideagen Audit Analytics dataset for accounting and auditing research. The dataset includes critical variables, for example, audit fees, non-audit fees, and critical audit matters. The data provider also organizes data efficiently, with clear-identified labels/columns. The dataset is easy to download and is comprehensive.
Pros
- Easy to download.
- Column names are clear.
- Data is comprehensive.
- Data updates are promptly.
Cons
- I use WRDS often. If Ideagen Audit Analytics can have a closer relationship with WRDS, that will be awesome, for example, more frequent updates on WRDS.
- Overall, I like this dataset so far.
