dc.description.abstractIn the context of Continuous Auditing, different approaches have been proposed to incorporate data analytics to accomplish a continuous audit environment. Some work suggests the use of data mining, some the use of process mining; some work reports on concrete case studies, where other work presents a conceptual approach. In this paper, we present an actionable framework to address one specific level of continuous auditing: the transaction verification level. This framework combines the techniques of data mining and process mining on one hand, and includes the auditor as a human expert to deal with the typical alarm flood on the other hand. Further, different research opportunities are identified in this context.-
