Expense & Procurement Fraud Review
Expense and procurement fraud reviews use data analytics to identify duplicate claims, threshold manipulation, kickback arrangements, and sole-source awards without competitive tender. We analyse the full historical dataset - not just discovered instances - to establish the true scale of fraud.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does forensic analysis detect expense fraud patterns?
Data analytics across the full expense claims dataset identifies duplicates (same amount, same date, different reference), claims systematically below approval thresholds, round-number amounts, weekend claims, and discrepancies against travel records and business system data.
Is expense fraud worth investigating if individual claims are small?
Yes. Individual expense fraud claims may appear modest, but systematic fraud by one or more employees over years can amount to significant sums. Full dataset analytics typically reveals a total quantum substantially larger than initially discovered instances.
