Keyword Analytics Defined• Process involves mining electronic communications for

• “key words”. These key words, when appearing in emails, text messages etc. may indicate that

• the sender (and possibly the recipient) are engaging in some method of fraudulent behavior. 

Page 9: Leveraging Technology Using Keyword Analytics in Fraud and Compliance Monitoring

Big Data and Audit• The ongoing information explosion is reaching epic proportions and has earned its own name: Big Data. 

• Gartner, and now much of the industry, use the so‐called "3Vs" model to classify Big Data: "Big data is high Volume, high Velocity, and/or high Variety information assets that require new forms of processing to enable enhanced decision making, insight discovery and process optimization." This clearly describes the type of data auditors and internal investigators have to deal with today.
