The solution will include an analysis of internal information, comparisons against known fraud profiles, and testing against external reference databases. Uniquely, BDE is able to merge and cleanse disparate data prior to mining and analysis - ensuring that we have a better chance of finding the needle in the haystack.

Companies spend vast amounts of time and effort in capturing data about their business. For example, information about transactions, clients, suppliers, employees, projects, invoices, budgets and other business interests is routinely recorded. Some of this data will document fraudulent transactions and evidence of collusion and deception.

The data from these reviews forms the basis for an audit or more detailed investigation. It can also form part of corporate governance or preemptive audit programmes when linked to suitable business rules.
