A Supreme Audit Institution from Latin America aimed to transform the audit process based on incorporation of state of the art technologies in order to increase transparency as well as control over government projects and their bidding process. The project was financed by the InterAmerican Development Bank (IADB), one of our long-term clients. Our objective was to find solutions to their audit’s needs through the application of Machine Learning algorithms and transform their work processes as well as their organizational culture to be able to carry out these type of projects.

This project meant for us many learnings on how to work with our clients. We achieved a positive workflow with them through in situ visits and workshops, especially when designing the technological infrastructure model so that they could progressively implement Machine Learning projects in the future. One of the main challenges we encountered was building trust with them.

Looking back at the project we see clearly how soft skills are as important as hard ones for Machine Learning projects. It is paramount to understand the client’s current maturity in data management. This project left us multiple learnings, but what did it leave them? They continued with Evaluation and Deployment, since we carried out this project with Cross-industry standard process for data mining. Frequently, prototypes are made and processes are followed up to a point and fail to be finished. Fortunately, not only did we see real will in them to continue with this project but also to go on with Machine Learning Initiatives in the future.
