Audit data analytics, machine learning, and full population
testing
Technologies are evolving at an unprecedented pace and pose
significant challenges and opportunities to companies and related
parties, including the accounting profession. In today’s business
environment, it is inevitable for companies to react quickly to
changing conditions and markets. Many companies are seeking
better ways to utilize emerging technologies to transform how
they conduct business. We live in an age of information
explosion, with technologies capable of making revolutionary
changes in various industries and reshaping business models. At
present, many companies view data as one of their most valuable
assets. They amass an unprecedented amount of data from their
daily business operation and strive to harness the power of data
through analytics. Emerging technologies like robotic process
automation, machine learning, and data analytics also impact the
accounting profession. It is important for the profession to
understand the impacts, opportunities, and challenges of these
technologies.
Specifically, in audit and assurance areas, data analytics and
machine learning will lead to many changes in the foreseeable
future. Audit sampling is one such potential change. The use of
sampling in audits has been criticized since it only provides a
small snapshot of the entire population. To address this major
issue, this study introduces the idea of applying audit data
analytics and machine learning for full population testing through
the concept of “audit-by-exception” and “exceptional
exceptions.” In this way, the emphasis of audit work shifts from
“transaction examination” to “exception examination” and
prioritizes the exceptions based on different criteria.
Consequently, auditors can assess the associated risk based on
the entire population of the transactions and thus enhance the
effectiveness and efficiency of the audit process.

Text 3A4
During the last century water infrastructure projects
involving large dams played a major role in the socio-economic
transformation of many countries. At the same time, in a
significant number of cases the benefits were not shared
equitably, and the negative impacts on the environmental and
sociocultural structures were excessive. In some cases their
economic performance was questionable. Diverging views have
arisen on the merits and demerits of dams, the roles they play,
and their alternatives in providing water and energy services.
However, recognition that such roles are complementary rather
than mutually exclusive has been growing as the dam debate has
moved forward.
It is envisaged that, as part of the global effort to improve
water and energy supplies, more dams will be constructed,
especially in developing countries, alongside other diverse
alternatives. There will, consequently, be a need to enhance the
benefits of dams and avoid many of their drawbacks by applying
better decision-making processes within the overall framework
of sustainability. There are complex issues around the planning
and management of dams in the context of sustainable
development which will need to be adequately considered and
addressed to achieve sustainable outcomes.
Dealing with the environmental and social challenges
within the context of meeting water and energy needs is at the
heart of the sustainability of projects involving dams. Dams are
one of the options, structural or non-structural, available to meet
specific water or energy needs. In many cases water and energy
services are best provided through a mix of options. Each case is
different. A decision to build a dam should emerge after a
comprehensive assessment of the full range of available options,
giving appropriate consideration to all aspects of sustainability.

Decision-making. Nairobi: The Secretariat of the Dams and Development Project, 2007. p. 10-1 (adapted).

Tapioca is the starch extracted from the cassava root.
Cassava is a native vegetable of South America that grows in
tropical and subtropical regions. In addition to providing daily
nutrition for millions of people around the globe, tapioca has
become a popular substitute for wheat flour in gluten-free
baking. It is also very easy to digest, so it’s a good choice for
people with irritable bowel syndrome and other digestive issues.
The minerals in tapioca can provide important health
benefits. For example, calcium is important for keeping your
bones strong and preventing the development of osteoporosis.
Tapioca also contains iron, an essential mineral we need to help
transport oxygen throughout the body. In addition, tapioca
contains no saturated fat. Reducing saturated fat has been found
to lower the risk of heart disease. Tapioca starch contains no fat
or cholesterol, which makes it a healthy choice for those
watching their dietary cholesterol and saturated fat intake.
Tapioca is also very low in sodium.

“I have to work with computers and phones all the time in my
work, either sitting in front of a screen or living by the apps
on my mobile. I think the number of voice-to-voice phone
calls has gone down a lot in the last few years, but with
Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and so on, I feel sort of
chained to technology the entire length of the working week.
So when the weekend comes, there’s nothing I like better
than switching off the computer, the mobile and the landline
and enjoying real peace and quiet. We live near to some
fields and open country, and I can listen to the birds sing, go
for long walks, maybe drop in at our local pub and have a
drink with some of the locals. It’s not exciting, I grant you, but it’s very relaxing and helps me remember I’m a human
being, not a part of some computerised machine. Of course,
by Sunday night I’m already thinking about the working week
ahead, but never mind. I’ve had those two days to recharge
my batteries, as they say.”

City lawmakers in Brazil have enacted what appears to be the
nation’s first legislation written entirely by artificial intelligence
(AI) — even if they didn’t know it at the time.
The experimental ordinance was passed in October in the southern
city of Porto Alegre and city councilman Ramiro Rosário revealed
that it was written by a chatbot, sparking objections and raising
questions about the role of artificial intelligence in public policy.
Rosário told The Associated Press that he asked OpenAI’s chatbot
ChatGPT to craft a proposal to prevent the city from charging
taxpayers to replace water consumption meters if they are stolen.
He then presented it to his 35 peers on the council without making
a single change or even letting them know about its
unprecedented origin. The 36-member council approved it
unanimously and the ordinance went into effect on Nov. 23.
The arrival of ChatGPT on the marketplace just a year ago has
sparked a global debate on the impacts of potentially
revolutionary AI-powered chatbots. While some see it as a
promising tool, it has also caused concerns and anxiety about the
unintended or undesired impacts of a machine handling tasks
currently performed by humans.
Porto Alegre, with a population of 1.3 million, is the second-largest
city in Brazil’s south. The city’s council president, Hamilton
Sossmeier, found out that Rosário had enlisted ChatGPT to write
the proposal when the councilman bragged about the
achievement on social media. Sossmeier initially told local media
he thought it was a “dangerous precedent.”
The AI large language models that power chatbots like ChatGPT
work by repeatedly trying to guess the next word in a sentence and
are prone to making up false information, a phenomenon
sometimes called hallucination.
All chatbots sometimes introduce false information when
summarizing a document, ranging from about 3% of the time for
the most advanced GPT model to a rate of about 27% for one of
Google’s models, according to recently published research by the
tech company Vectara.
In an article published on the website of Harvard Law School’s
Center of Legal Profession earlier this year, Andrew Perlman,
wrote that ChatGPT “is a machine learning system, it may not have
the same level of understanding and judgment as a human lawyer
when it comes to interpreting legal principles and precedent. This
could lead to problems in situations where a more in-depth legal
analysis is required”.
There was no such transparency for Rosário’s proposal in Porto
Alegre. Sossmeier said Rosário did not inform fellow council
members that ChatGPT had written the proposal.
Rosário told the AP his objective was also to spark a debate. He
said he entered a 49-word prompt into ChatGPT and it returned
the full draft proposal within seconds, including justifications.
And the council president, who initially decried the method,
already appears to have been swayed. “I changed my mind,”
Sossmeier said. “I started to read more in depth and saw that,
unfortunately or fortunately, this is going to be a trend.”

Choose the alternative that better substitutes the underlined
preposition in “The AI large language models that power chatbots
like ChatGPT work by repeatedly trying to guess the next word in a
sentence and are prone to making up false information, a

The latest evolution of The Color Purple story is coming to the
big screen soon—and as the premiere gets closer and closer,
we’re getting more sneak peeks into that magic!
Oprah has joined forces with Steven Spielberg, Quincy Jones,
and Scott Sanders to bring The Color Purple musical—which
premiered on Broadway in 2005—to life. “To reinvent the
movie at this time is to reinvent a phenomenon,” says Oprah.
The film has an official release date: December 25, 2023—so
that’s your post-Christmas plans, sorted.
In 1985, Oprah made her acting debut as Sofia in Spielberg’s
adaptation of Alice Walker’s novel—and earned an Academy
Award nomination. Oprah said she felt “deep down joy” while
filming The Color Purple. “Being in that movie changed
everything for me. I was doing work that I loved, and I was
surrounded by others who were equally passionate. I was so
happy every day,” she said.
Oprah calls Walker’s seminal novel, first published in 1983, one
of the “national anthems for women’s empowerment.” Celie,
the protagonist of The Color Purple, endures the unimaginable
while growing up in rural Georgia—and triumphs, thanks in part
to the support of the book’s other women protagonists, Sofia
and Shug Avery.
IT’S ONE OF THE NATIONAL ANTHEMS FOR WOMEN’S EMPOWERMENT. —OPRAH
In addition to the talented cast and crew of actors and singers (more on that below), the 2023 film is directed by
Blitz Bazawule (who also helmed Beyoncé’s Black Is King). Marcus Gardley (The Chi) wrote the script, which Oprah
says is now infused with a kind of magical realism: “We get to see and feel what’s going on in Celie’s imagination.”
Oprah was deeply invested in 2023’s The Color Purple, including choosing the perfect person for each role. Here
are her thoughts on the casting choices and everything else you need to know about this next evolution of The
Color Purple.
