Q1 2017 ACL St. Louis User Group Meeting
Using Data Analytics to Fight Fraud

Detecting fraud can be an overwhelming task. Where do you start looking? How often do you need to look? If you are already looking, is there more that needs to be done?  Do you need to change your approach? If so, what should be changed? The questions can be endless.

In this presentation, we will discuss high-level data analysis benefits and challenges; various perspectives on using data analysis; and specific fraud tests that can be performed for Payroll, Accounts Payable, Travel & Entertainment, P-Card, and FCPA.
