[Ideagen] Audit Analytics is the gold standard for audit data. I love the comment letter database because you can not only identify companies receiving specific SEC feedback but download all the comment letters directly from the website. Ideagen is committed to providing a comprehensive dataset so they are always staying focused on the latest data that is available. Their newsletter provides a wealth of good information. I use the website several times each month in an academic setting.

Your researchers are drowning in ineffective data

PhD candidates in accounting, finance and audit face a critical bottleneck: months spent manually extracting data from SEC filings and regulatory databases - time that should be devoted to theoretical development and analysis. 

This inefficiency cascades throughout your program, resulting in: 

  • Extended time-to-degree and delayed graduations 
  • Fewer publications in top-tier journals 
  • Reduced competitiveness in faculty placement markets 
  • Diminished program rankings and reputation
