Audit Strategies in a Great Data Base Context: the SecexPrevidência Experience

Abstract

The nature and volume of the expenses, as well as the amount of available data facing the government functions related to work, social assistance and social security, imposed upon Secex Previdência (Department of Social Security, Labor and Social Assistance Audits) the need to employ a data analysis in order to improve the effectiveness of their audits and evaluations. For that purpose, public and private basis crossing and analysis of quantitative efficiency, governance and of the impact of social expenses in inclusive growth were performed. The Secex Previdência implemented, with a software enterprise, an analytical board to test a methodology that could integrate several quantitative analyses for the generation of better diagnosis, prescriptions and predictions for the identified problems in order to improve the currently used analyses. In this sense, it was possible to test the enterprise´s IT solutions in the integration of the results of several techniques of data analysis for two benefits operated by the National Institute of Social Security, age benefits and for people with disabilities.
