In what file format should the data be provided?
Typically, the Computer Audit Specialist will request that you submit electronic data in a non-delimited, fixed width flat file format along with the record layout. Data is accepted in EBCDIC format or ASCII format. Data received in EBCDIC format is converted to ASCII format. With advanced notification and approval, other formats may be accepted. The CAS can work with most data systems to find the most effective manner to complete the audit.
