We all say it's important. We go here a justice department official at some conference. He or she will talk about how important data analytics is how they use data analytics. And of course, if they in the public sector can afford to do it, then certainly, we in the private sector must be able to do it. Because government has no money and if they can do it, we must be able to do it."  2.     "It's easy to think it's important in the abstract, but how are you actually going to do it? That's the part that compliance officers need to think through."  3.     "We're really looking for outlier transactions. We're looking for anomalous events of some kind. We're also looking for trend analysis to see if big huge swaths of transactions are moving in a certain direction that might be troublesome." 4.     "You need to be, I think, maybe more on your game with devising a good business case for data analytics. It's easy to think it's important in the abstract, but how are you actually going to do it?"  Resources Matt Kelly in Radical Compliance Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
