    Compliance and Fraud Detection

    A reliance on manual sampling of transactions to audit accounts is ineffective, and often inadequate to fulfil regulatory needs. Anomaly and peer grouping methods can improve the detection of certain kinds of frauds. However, these methods are unable to generalise on new or unseen data. In such cases, to help organisations effectively reduce losses from fraud and errors, we use predictive analytical tools such as:

    Classification and Regression Trees
    Parametric and Non-Parametric models
    Ensemble methods
