IDEA User Feedback
"We love the Social Security Number Analysis
test. We used it on one client and found 25 invalid social security numbers, despite this client's HR department actively checking for
invalid numbers with the Social
Security Department."

Adopting Data Analysis Software-
A CPA Firm's Journey
|  Having the best tools for conducting audits ranked high on Pat Lonsdale's priorities when he left Ernst & Young for the Padgett Stratemann & Co., LLP in San Antonio, TX. "One of my big concerns was resources, and what I found was Padgett Stratemann is at the forefront in terms of technology," said Lonsdale, the CPA firm's senior manager. Lonsdale arrived at Padgett Stratemann in 2003, and it was a time when the use of IDEAŽ - Data Analysis Software was in its infancy at the company. Padgett Stratemann was a member of the McGladrey & Pullen network, and that was how Lonsdale was introduced to IDEA. |
