Using Data Analytics for Business Operation Improvements and Risk Assessments

​​Project Summary:

In this GLE project, students from both DePaul and National Chung Cheng University collaborate to work on a fraud detection data analytics case provided by KPMG. Due to the unstructured nature of the case, students will need to define the objectives and scope of the project, design and execute the analyses by considering different possible scenarios and explanations, highlight key findings and provide recommendations. The project not only emphasizes the communicational, cultural, and educational differences in the data driven decision making processes but also highlight local institutional contexts and technology preferences that can influence the decisions.
