This paper shows how the steps in Litigation Data Analysis (Litigation Analysis), Auditing and Extract-Transform-Load for Business Intelligence (ETL for BI, or data warehousing for business data analysis) are inherently similar; it is just the emphasis and time spent on each step that varies, based on the participant's goal. This is due to the commonality of the underlying principles of "Truth," Reproducibility and Time-Invariance (also seen as Time-Invariant). If the process is flawed, or if the data or processes are "Out of sync," one with the other, then any subsequent decision based on that data or process is without merit. The paper will also cover the issue of time series data, and some of the problems it poses for each function.
