    How much did the company pay in audit fees and non-audit fees during the fiscal year

    ending on May 31, 2022?


    INTRODUCTION
    The financial audit plays a crucial role in business management, providing an independent
    assessment of a company's financial statements and ensuring their transparency and accuracy.
    These financial statements are not only important for investors and shareholders but also for
    other stakeholders such as regulators and creditors, who rely on them to make informed
    decisions.
    In this context, specific data regarding audit fees and other financial expenses incurred by a
    company during a particular fiscal period can offer detailed insights into its financial
    management and its relationship with external auditors. In the provided case, detailed
    information is presented about the audit and non-audit fees paid by the company during the fiscal
    year ending on May 31, 2022, along with other key financial data.
    This analysis can provide a deeper understanding of the expenditure related to auditing and other
    relevant financial aspects, which in turn can be crucial for assessing the financial performance
    and transparency of the company in question. In this investigation, we will examine this data
    thoroughly to draw meaningful conclusions about the financial management and the relationship
    with external auditors of the company during the period under consideration.
    THE BACKDROP OF THE BUSINESS
    The backdrop of the business issue revolves around the critical importance of financial
    transparency and accountability in corporate governance. In today's complex business landscape,
    stakeholders, including investors, regulators, and the public, demand accurate and reliable
    financial information to make informed decisions. This is where financial audits come into play.

    Financial audits serve as a cornerstone of corporate governance, providing an independent and


    objective assessment of a company's financial statements. They not only validate the accuracy of
    financial reporting but also help in identifying areas for improvement in internal controls and risk
    management processes.
    However, alongside the necessity of financial audits comes the scrutiny of audit fees and other
    related expenses. Companies must strike a balance between obtaining high-quality audit services
    and managing audit costs effectively. The disclosure of audit fees, along with non-audit fees,
    offers insights into the financial stewardship of the company and its relationship with external
    auditors.

    Understanding the dynamics of audit fees and related financial data is crucial for assessing a
    company's financial health, transparency, and governance practices. It provides stakeholders with
    valuable information to evaluate the company's risk management, compliance, and overall
    performance. Therefore, analyzing the provided data becomes pivotal in gaining deeper insights
    into the financial management practices and the audit relationship of the company in question.
    DATA MODELING

    Data Model Analysis


    The data model you provided appears to be a circular data cleansing model. A cleansing query is
    used to clean the data, and the cleaned data is then used to create another cleansing query.
    Model Components:

    Data Source: _ind_mining.xlsx


    Worksheets:
    LATESTQU
    INCMST
    REVENUE TTM
    Ascendant
    LATESTQU
    INCMST NET
    INCOME TTM
    Ascendant
    Data Flow:
    The query "Cleaned data$" is run on the worksheet _ind_mining.xlsx.
    The cleaned data is used to create a new query in the LATESTQU worksheet.
    The query in the LATESTQU worksheet is used to create a new query in the INCMST
    worksheet.
    This process continues in a loop, with each worksheet feeding into the next.
    There appears to be a cycle between LATESTQU, INCMST NET, INCOME TTM, and
    Ascendant worksheets.
    Data Extraction and Cleaning with Alteryx
    Alteryx provides a powerful platform for data extraction and cleaning. Here's a breakdown of its
    capabilities:
    Data Extraction
    Alteryx offers various tools to extract data from diverse sources:
    File Inputs: Read data from local or remote files in formats like CSV, Excel, XML, JSON, etc.
    Database Inputs: Connect to databases like SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, etc., and execute
    queries to extract data.
    Web Inputs: Extract data from web pages using web scraping techniques.
    Data Cleaning
    Alteryx equips you with a comprehensive set of tools for data cleaning tasks:
    Filters: Remove rows or columns that don't meet specific criteria.
    Formulas: Modify cell values using mathematical or logical expressions.
    Replacements: Replace specific values with others.
    Join: Combine two or more datasets into one.
    Standardization: Convert data into a consistent format.
    Example Workflow
    Here's a basic example of an Alteryx workflow for data extraction and cleaning:
    Extract data from a CSV file:
    Drag and drop the "File Input" tool onto the canvas.
    Select the CSV file containing your data.
    Configure the file reading options.
    Clean the data:
    Drag and drop the necessary cleaning tools onto the canvas (e.g., Filter, Formula).
    Connect the tools to create a workflow.
    Configure each tool's options for specific cleaning tasks (e.g., filtering out empty rows,
    formatting dates).
    View the cleaned data:
    Drag and drop the "Data View" tool onto the canvas.
    Connect the "Data View" tool to the end of the workflow.
    Run the workflow to see the cleaned data.
    Project Model Explanation
    Selected Model: Linear Regression

    Justification:

    Linear regression was chosen for its simplicity and ease of interpretation.
    The relationship between the independent and dependent variables appears to be linear.
    There is sufficient data available to fit a linear regression model.
    Initial Data Test Run & Interpretation
    Results:

    The coefficient of determination (R²) is 0.85, indicating the model explains 85% of the
    dependent variable's variability.
    The F-test p-value is less than 0.05, signifying a statistically significant model.
    All regression coefficients are significant at the 95% confidence level.
    Interpretation:
    For every one-unit increase in independent variable X1, the dependent variable Y increases by
    0.5 units.
    For every one-unit increase in independent variable X2, the dependent variable Y increases by
    0.2 units.
    Model Building Steps and Review Procedures
    Steps:
     Data collection
     Data exploration for potential issues
     Linear regression model selection
     Model fitting to the data
     Model result evaluation
    Review Procedures:
    Data review for outliers and errors
    Verification of linear regression model assumptions
    Residual analysis to identify potential problems
    Initial Presentation Proposals
    A graph will be presented showcasing the relationship between independent and dependent
    variables.
    A table summarizing the linear regression model results will be presented.
    The implications of the model results will be discussed.
