Bayesian Statistical Models provide statisticians and auditors with a set of powerful tools for attacking financial audit problems. Some of these statistical auditing problems may be solved analytically. For these, functions for manipulating equations and standard packages make Mathematica a natural environment for work. However, most Bayesian statistical models suitable for attacking financial audit problems are not accessible in closed form. For these problems Mathematica’s symbolic programming language, efficient array handling functions, and numerical optimization routines form the base for building large-scale simulations. The beta-binomial model for estimating the proportion of transactions in error is described. Models for multilocation audits are discussed briefly, as are models for sequential multiple location audits. Why Mathematica is an important tool in this type of data analysis is shown.
