Articles and frameworks for risk, audit, finance, and operations teams—grouped by domain.

Accounts Payable

Leakage and control risks in procure-to-pay and vendor payments.

  1. Duplicate payment detection One duplicate-payment rule is not enough. Near-duplicates, shared bank accounts, and credit notes need their own tests.
  2. Vendor master analytics Duplicate suppliers, shared bank accounts, and master-data gaps before they become payment leakage.
  3. Three-way match exceptions Ordered 100. Received 40. Paid 100. Tests that catch the gap before accounts payable releases the payment.
  4. New vendor first payments Vendor created on day 0, paid on day 3, and never billed again.
  5. Unusual invoice volume Peer vendors send a handful of invoices a month. This one sent dozens.

Procurement

Fake competition, collusion, and cost that grows after the award.

  1. Bid rigging Shared vendor identities that make a competitive bid look real when it is not.
  2. Vendor collusion networks Suppliers that never share a bank account or tax ID, and still bid as one ring.
  3. Change orders after award Awarded at 100, paid at 180. Cost that grows after a competitive award.

Travel & Expense

Behavioral risk in T&E—beyond policy gates and sampled audits.

  1. Expense behavior Policy checks miss behavioral risk. Compare peers, vendors, timing, and spend patterns.
  2. Personal expenses Retail, lifestyle, and home-city spend coded as business travel.
  3. Split expense claims One dinner claimed as three amounts so each stays under the approval limit.

Payroll

Post-termination pay, ghost employees, and payroll master gaps that drain salary spend.

  1. Pay after termination Salary that keeps clearing after the employee has left, plus payroll master gaps.
  2. Ghost employees Fictitious, duplicate, and no-show workers hidden in the payroll master.

Purchasing Cards

Misuse and leakage risks in P-Card programs—beyond monthly statements and sampled receipts.

  1. Purchasing-card misuse Split purchases, blocked merchant codes, personal spend, and dormant cards.

Order-to-Cash

Billing, credits, pricing, and collection risks that quietly erode revenue.

  1. Order-to-cash leakage Unbilled orders, duplicate credits, pricing overrides, and cash application exceptions.
  2. Discount leakage Policy capped the discount at 5%. The invoice gave 18%.

General Ledger

High-priority journal and balance risks in the books of record—beyond trial-balance sampling.

  1. Risky journal entries Manual journals, suspense build-up, after-hours postings, reversals, and segregation-of-duties conflicts.

Frameworks

Reference guides for structuring enterprise risk and compliance analytics programmes.

  1. Fraud, risk and compliance framework A three-phase programme: scope the work, run the tests, and act on the findings.
  2. One platform for every risk domain Financial, fraud, control, and compliance analytics in one view, instead of a separate tool for each.

Product Stories

Short walkthroughs of a risk assessment, from the question to a closed case.

  1. From data to dollars in four steps Connect ERP data, set the risk objective, run the analytics, and review the evidence.
  2. Three vendors, one shared identity One procurement question, linked ERP tables, and a collusion network.
