Ryan was a member of the MSA cohort that got the first version of Bibitor, LLC. “Professor Bame-Aldred created this huge data set on Wednesday and handed it to us on Thursday. He gave us one instruction ‘Audit the company using a Big Data approach’.” Ryan and his team created workpaper tests that identified an error in the dataset. Many of these tests are the basis of cases found on the HUB. “I wasn’t starting my job until October. I asked Professor Bame-Aldred if he needed any help. For 6 weeks, he and I worked to create the 9 existing audit cases on the HUB for Bibitor, LLC.”

These 9 cases use ACL and IDEA. There are currently versions for 4 of the 6 year-end datasets on the HUB. “During my first busy season, I would come in on Saturdays and Sundays and work on updating the cases for the new year-ends. I really enjoyed the opportunity to keep getting better at using the different tools.” Ryan is an Audit Associate with RSM in Boston, Massachusetts. This busy season, Ryan will devote a couple of his weekends to working with the HUB Co-Founders and two other volunteers, Chase Wilson (BSBA ’17) and Dan Omicinski (BSBA ’18), updating the audit cases for June, September, and December 2017.
