Fraud Detector

Cross-references vendor master against employee directory, scores transactions for ghost-vendor / round-number / weekend-payroll patterns, and routes anything that smells wrong to dual-control approval before the wire goes out.

The problem

ACFE puts internal-fraud loss at roughly 5% of revenue annually, and 40% of cases are caught by tip — not by detection. The classic patterns are mechanical: a ghost vendor created with a routing number that matches an employee's direct-deposit, duplicate payments to slightly different vendor names, round-number invoices from a brand-new payee, payroll runs initiated outside business hours, an expense report with the same Uber receipt submitted by two different employees. Without a continuous detection layer joined to the vendor master, employee directory, and payroll calendar, segregation-of-duties gaps go unchecked until an external auditor surfaces them — which is the most expensive way to find them.

Typical leak: ~5% of revenue lost to internal fraud annually (ACFE) · $40K-$200K median loss per scheme on an SMB · 14-month median scheme duration before detection

Fraud detection lift + median scheme duration reduction

Median scheme duration cut from 14 months to under 90 days; 60-80% of high-severity flags caught pre-payment vs. post-audit; 3-5x lift over tip-based detection alone
