Course Description

In this session, co-founders Chris McCall and Tod McDonald will introduce and demonstrate Valid8 Investigations.

The audience will learn how to mitigate manual pain points and solve for the quality, speed, and cost of preparing evidentiary financial data for an investigation through an innovative application of machine learning. Chris and Tod will use examples from real-world case studies of Valid8 to illustrate how professionals can handle greater complexity and scale beyond manual transcription restrictions.

Learning Objectives:


  • Identify how the preparation of third-party financial statements doesn't need to absorb 80% of the total investigation timeframe

  • Recognize how the appropriate application of data algorithms can deliver superior data quality assurance

  • Recognize how technology previously restricted to the most complex of cases is now democratized and readily available for all cases
