Supply chain fraud detection: suppliers, staff and payments in one picture

Procurement fraud hides in relationships that no single record shows: a supplier that shares a bank account with an employee, two bidders with the same director, invoices split to stay under an approval limit. FinCrimes resolves suppliers, their directors and their bank accounts into one record, screens them, connects them to the staff around them and turns what it finds into cases with the evidence attached.

What supply chain fraud detection gives your team

Supplier vetting

Each supplier, its directors and its bank accounts are resolved into one record, so a company registered twice, or one director behind several bidders, shows up once. Suppliers and their directors are screened against sanctions and politically exposed persons lists.

  • Entity resolution across names, registration numbers, addresses, phone numbers and bank accounts
  • Sanctions and PEP screening of suppliers and their directors

Conflicts of interest

Graph analytics links suppliers to each other and to staff through shared addresses, phone numbers, bank accounts and directors, exposing the relationships procurement rules exist to prevent.

  • Suppliers that share a director, address, phone number or bank account
  • Suppliers connected to the staff who request, approve or pay them

Procurement and payment red flags

Invoices and payments are checked for the patterns procurement fraud leaves behind.

  • Duplicate invoices
  • Invoices split into smaller ones
  • Payments kept just under approval limits

Cases with the evidence attached

Findings become cases in the FinCrimes investigation workbench, with the linked suppliers, people and payments attached and every action written to a hash-chained custody ledger. Where devices or mailboxes need examining, our digital forensics service preserves and analyses them.
