Active Analytics
Data analytics begins with a
systematic approach to data
gathering, cleansing and
standardization. Technology allows
for an in-depth analysis of large
volumes of data over multiple
sources .
In order to efficiently risk-rank
transactions and entities for
investigation, Active Analytics
facilitates the detection of hidden
relationships and relationships with
known high-risk entities, and
identifies atypical transactional
patterns through statistical,
keyword, and exception based data
mining.
As the volume of meaningful
data continues to grow and the
quantity and nature of valuable
data sources expands, it becomes
increasingly important to
visualize links indicating a
potential threat to the
organization.
Through continuous feedback, anti-corruption and anti-fraud analytics continue to evolve. This
framework is designed to improve findings by leveraging over a decade of experience in FCPA
and fraud investigations.
How Active Analytics works
Each step works towards improving
the search for entities and
transactions that may pose a threat
to the organization:
1. Data is gathered from multiple
sources and is standardized.
2. Intelligent decision systems
capture expert knowledge and
previous experiences.
3. Exception based & statistical
analysis are used to evaluate
transactions to identify
abnormal events.
4. Entity testing establishes
potential links with known high
risk entities through current
events and third party
databases of known offenders.
5. Visualization and reporting
allow for advanced visual
discovery.
6. Data analysis and field analysis
are combined to select a sample
set of transactions for deeper
investigation.
