CCM (Part 5) – 5 things you should know – and 2 things you better not forget – when building a CCM data analytic environment<\/h2>\n

This post is part five of a bigger article which is titled \u201c5 things you should know – and 2 things you better not forget – when building a data analytic environment\u201d. It is about data analytics in general, but with a focus on building bigger solutions like a CCM (Continuous Controls Monitoring Environment). The full article contains of several parts. The first five describe attention points that you should be aware of: <\/p>\n

  3. Know your data (aka examine data structures)<\/a><\/li>\n

      Five things you should know, continued (5\/5) <\/h2>\n

      We do continue with the fifth aspect out of the five things that I see as \u201cessential\u201d. The first step, labeled \u201cKnow what you want to know\u201d, was about a getting proper business understanding and stating as-detailed-as-possible questions that can actually be answered. Only by knowing your business well you can make a good list of analytic questions. The area we were interested in was \u201cCompliance\u201d, the topic \u201cPayments to critical countries\u201d and the detail questions that were raised we stated as follows: <\/p>\n
