Overall Satisfaction with Ideagen Audit Analytics

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.

WRDS

Ideagen Audit Analytics complements the usage of WRDS. I download company's financial data from WRDS and auditors' data from Ideagen Audit Analytics. I think this is a good pair.
