Benford's Law is a powerful tool for targeting investigations and audits. Modern techniques are more powerful, but require performing Benford's Law many times. Attendees will learn to automate these calculations in Power BI to make the analysis faster, more flexible, and to isolate the most significant anomalies in a repeatable way. No prior knowledge of Power BI is assumed.
