The integrity and reliability of the data used for analytics are critical. Using data directly from the system helps ensure that the auditor is working with accurate, up-to-date, and unaltered information. This direct access to the system data minimizes the risk of errors or manipulation that might occur if the data were obtained from secondary sources.
