With increase in the use of net, mobile, IVRS (Interactive Voice Response System), ATM, commercial and retail electronic transaction across various sectors (like banking, insurance, retail), manual systems and personal supervisions are no longer sufficient to detect or prevent fraud. This has driven a need for data mining and analysis techniques that uncover patterns or anomalies in transactions, customer applications and records. Besides, business reorganization or downsizing can weaken the information system of an organisation and present opportunities of fraudulent financial reporting<\/a> and asset misappropriation<\/a>.\u00a0 During economic downturns<\/a>, the incidences of fraud increase, calling for real-time monitoring and controls of fraud. Use of Fraud Analytics in such scenarios facilitates transaction monitoring, risk profiling and client verification for minimal losses to the organisation..<\/p>\n

Defining Fraud Analytics<\/b><\/p>\n

An integrated methodology that uses statistical methods, techniques of analysis and data mining, with sophisticated tools or dedicated software; for continuous monitoring, investigation, detection and prevention of fraudulent transactions.<\/i><\/p>\n

Industry verticals using Fraud Analytics: <\/b>Banking, Financial Services, Insurance, Retail, Telecommunications<\/p>\n

Data mining<\/a> models, statistical analysis techniques using correlation, trend and time-series, behaviour profiling, peer analysis, artificial intelligence (AI), predictive modelling, link, collaborative and interactive analyses, transaction monitoring and risk profiling approaches, are various tools of Fraud Analytics applied for an integrated Fraud Management.<\/p>\n

Key roles<\/b><\/p>\n

Real time alerts of fraud<\/p>\n

Detecting fraudulent patterns<\/p>\n

Eliminating new frauds<\/p>\n

Minimising losses from fraud<\/p>\n

Protection against habitual offenders<\/p>\n

Internal fraud monitoring<\/p>\n

Supports forensic accounting<\/p>\n

The bottom line is that, the ability to quickly detect and deter fraudulent activity without impacting customer base or internal workforce culture, has a direct bearing on the growth and profits of an organisation. A great case study that exemplifies why Fraud Analytics is core to an enterprise is that of Enron<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With systems becoming more complex, organizations are deploying customised enterprise-wide real-time fraud solutions<\/a> that offer flexible architectures and operational environments for fraud detection and prevention. As the market for Fraud Prevention and Detection increases<\/a>, the career prospects in this niche analytics field are tremendous for those with a fascination for post-operational analysis and trouble shooting, or software developing skills.<\/p>\n
