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).

Using your phone while on the toilet poses significant health risks, as warned by an expert, Dr. Sethi. Despite being a common habit, mindlessly scrolling or using your phone in the bathroom can lead to severe consequences. Dr. Sethi, a Harvard-trained stomach doctor, highlights that this practice, particularly during bowel movements, causes extended sitting that strains the rectum and anus, potentially resulting in hemorrhoids, anal fissures, and rectal prolapse.
Furthermore, using phones in the bathroom makes them a breeding ground for bacteria, surpassing the hygiene levels of a public toilet seat. Dr. Sethi emphasizes the importance of avoiding phone usage while on the toilet or, if unavoidable, suggests disinfecting the phone afterward. Research spanning over a decade has consistently shown that phones harbor a significant amount of germs, including fecal matter.
Despite these health warnings, over 65% of adults take their phones into the bathroom, with Spain having the highest usage rates (nearly 80%) and Germany the lowest (just under 55%). Interestingly, younger age groups, particularly those aged 26-41 and 18-25, are most likely to engage in this unhygienic behavior. Apart from health concerns, there’s the practical risk of dropping the phone into the toilet, with a fifth of respondents in the United States admitting to this mishap.

Text 41A1-I
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.
