Main Topic: Making
the Leap from Profiler to Extended Events
Main Topic Speaker: Erin Stellato
Main Topic Summary: If
you’re like me, you’ve been using SQL Trace and Profiler since you started
using SQL Server. They’re like old friends, tried and true. You know how they
work, you know what you can capture, you know how to find the data you need.
But now you’ve been told that your good friends have been deprecated in SQL
Server 2012, and you need to become best friends with Extended Events. What is
THAT all about? It’s ok. Really. In this session we’ll look at Profiler and
Extended Events side by side to see how easy it is to transition to Extended
Events. We’ll step through real world examples using Extended Events to do what
you’re used to doing with Trace, and even more. You can find the time learn
Extended Events…today.

Main Topic: Forensic Analytics with PowerPivot for Excel
Main Topic Speaker: William E Pearson III
Main Topic Summary: Despite the wealth of analytical technologies available today, 65% of occupational fraud at public companies is detected through tips, management review, or simple accidents. Forensic analytics can change this disappointing scenario by employing a combination of human intuition and leading-edge technologies, and can provide superior detection methods to significantly improve the detection and investigation of illegal or unethical activities.In this session, we explore forensic analytics: a set of techniques we can use to uncover irregularities in financial data. We also gain an understanding of goals of forensic analytics: to enable us to find out how — and why — these irregularities exist, and to find out their source(s) — especially when fraudulent activity is suspected. We discuss guiding principles that are key to effectively and confidently ferreting out data anomalies, and outline a methodology to meet key principles by applying a standard, repeatable process to forensic analytics. Throughout the session, we view examples of how we can employ PowerPivot for Excel to drive forensic analytics via various tests and reviews.
