Using Data Analytics to Detect Fraud
Fraud by its nature is hidden. Unlike theft, where a stolen item can easily be detected as it will be missing. Fraud involves manipulation of records and burying it deep in the data. As an auditor, you need special skills and tools to be able to detect fraud.
And that is where data analytics comes in.
How do you remain on top of your game as a business advisor? How do you proactively get live notifications that something could be wrong? How do you understand the story being told by your everyday data? The secret lies in data analytics.
