The Development of the Process Mining Event Log Generator (PMELG) Tool
开发了一个易用的流程挖掘事件日志生成器（PMELG），用于生成订单到收款流程的数据文件，帮助会计和审计领域的学生与专业人士获得训练所需的事件数据。
SYNOPSIS Process mining is an emerging technology that allows users to visualize all potential variations of business processes within an organization. It holds significant potential for impacting the field of accounting. However, training professionals and students in its use is challenging due to a lack of event data applicable to accounting and auditing scenarios. To address this issue, we developed an easy-to-use tool called the Process Mining Event Log Generator (PMELG) for generating process mining data files for the order-to-cash process. With the PMELG tool, users can create realistic datasets that incorporate key accounting and auditing concepts, such as segregation of duties issues, internal control violations, operational inefficiencies, and fraudulent behavior. We validate this tool with professionals and academics. Both groups believe the tool will be beneficial for both practitioners and academic audiences.
