The case is offered in Alteryx, which is a powerful tool for both ETL and data analytics. We provide instructions to obtain free academic licensing for you and your students.

This Innovation mindset case study asks students to automate the selection of a sample of expenses for testing for audit purposes based on: (1) a systematic selection of key transactions above or below a specified threshold and (2) a random selection of non-key transactions that do not meet the specified threshold.

Data is provided to students in .csv and Excel files. This case is offered in UiPath and accompanied with how-to videos. We provide instructions to obtain free academic licensing for you and your students. This case can also be used with other RPA software.
