2.  How does use of the right software complement the forensic accountant's use of her traditional tools of data analysis and interviewing so help insure she doesn't miss something important?

3. Why is it true to say that nearly every investigation can benefit from forensic technology?  Why is this especially true of cyber crime?

 
4. How do the IT professional and the forensic accountant work together to assess the reliability of input controls?  Why must all data used be somehow tied to some other data to assure its validity?

6. Distinguish between the need for technical skills and the need for communication skills in the data mining supported investigation.

 		 9.  Why can something as seemingly mundane as sorting the data correctly make or break a project?
10.  What are some of the principal factors that can make presenting the results of a data mining effort so complex, especially to a non-technical jury or legal team?
