If an auditor suspected an "unusual" relationship between a purchasing agent and certain suppliers, how could "drill-down" be used to collect data?

What will be an ideal response?

Drill-down capability permits a user to repeatedly extract detailed data at increasing levels of detail. An auditor would be able to examine purchasing transactions to determine any pattern of purchases with the supplier in question that were approved by the purchasing agent and tie such transactions to other characteristics like price variations relative to other vendors at the same time.
