Graphic, Computational, and Improvement Curve Analysis Techniques
Graphic, Computational, and Improvement Curve Analysis Techniques covers regression analysis and
improvement curves as applicable to the auditing field. The subject matter concentrates on simple linear,
curvilinear, and multiple regression analysis. The student is given hands-on experience in the use of the
E-Z Quant programs. Graphic presentation of trend and improvement curve data for identification of
possible irregularities and report presentation is stressed through case study applications. Students identify
audit situations where regression analysis or improvement curves could be applied; utilize the correct E-Z
Quant program for a given situation; correctly interpret the E-Z Quant program output, including graphs
and statistical measures; determine if reliance can be placed upon the analysis and ways to improve the
analysis; analyze improvement curve data; identify major irregularities of significant changes in trend
data; adjust the data to establish estimates of the contractor's future production cost; and discuss "ethics on
the job." Prerequisites: AUD 1130; successful completion of pre-course self study materials.

Defense Contract Audit Agency Supervisory Skills Workshop
The Supervisory Skills Workshop addresses the new supervisor's adjustment to the demands and
responsibilities of a supervisory auditor. Students focus on issues that supervisors face on the job. Topics
include personnel management and administration, Dimensional Management Training (DMT),
situational leadership, and ethics.
The student builds administrative and "people skills" through classroom instruction and activities.
(staffing, training, development, performance appraisal, promotions, and employee relations) in carrying
out personnel management functions. Supervisory actions that improve audit quality while developing
auditor competence and commitment are presented. Students learn the DMT approach to seek solutions
to audit issues, performance deficiencies, and behavioral problems. Upon completion of the workshop,
students should be able to incorporate personnel management requirements into the personnel actions they
take; examine the manner in which they assign and monitor audit assignments to maintain consistency
within the tenets of situational leadership; and use the DMT approach to resolve "people" problems.
Prerequisites: None.
