    Ideagen Audit Analytics is crucial when answering questions in financial research, due to its data coverage, the amount of data available, and the available data period. Additionally, Ideagen Audit Analytics exhibits internal consistency, and has data connectors that allow to pair the data with external data as well. This is very helpful.

    Cons
    S&P Global Inc.
    • The scope and depth of the collected data can be increased.
    • The UI with little icons and buttons may be difficult at first but may become intuitive. The UI isn't horrible but might be better.
    • Global data coverage, but US and UK markets have the greatest details. MENA and APAC lack.

    S&P Global Inc.
    We had Capital IQ in addition to Bloomberg. It was much easier for a new person to use Capital IQ than Bloomberg. The ease of use was a huge selling point for us. Yahoo finance on the other hand is free, but you cannot gather all the data you may need in one location like you can in Capital IQ.

    Ideagen Audit Analytics complements the usage of WRDS. I download company's financial data from WRDS and auditors' data from Ideagen Audit Analytics. I think this is a good pair.
