Class 6
Transaction Analytics: Understanding Transactions
Description
This class introduces transaction-level analytics and examines how individual business transactions can be summarized and compared. Transaction-level data are important because they allow accountants to examine patterns that may not be visible in aggregated financial information.
Motivation
What can individual transactions tell us about a business?
Review
The ETL classes focused on obtaining and preparing data for analysis. This class begins using those prepared data to answer accounting questions by moving from data preparation to the analysis of business activity.
