This document discusses fraud investigations in industries that handle large amounts of data. It notes that fraudsters use big data to conceal fraud and that data-driven investigations can uncover more fraud than traditional methods. The document describes how one insurance company used data analysis to uncover over $1 million in fraudulent claims from an individual and department that were not discovered through traditional investigations. It advocates for combining investigative skills with data analysis skills and having access to industry data sets to more effectively investigate fraud in data-heavy industries.

13. Our case study – Investigating in numbers
ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFER FRAUD
• R22 000 only one incident
• Sufficient evidence to prove this
• Great case solved!
• Or is it?
• Enter Santam Sherlock Holmes and Data Mentalist
• Extract claims data processed by alleged fraudster = 20 000 lines (Overwhelming)
• Traditional analysis = Investigation = zero results (Frustration)
• Profile existing fraudulent transaction and alleged fraudster
• Refine analysis = Investigation = What’s in a surname? = R1.4m
DOES LIGHTNING STRIKE IN THE SAME PLACE TWICE?
• Extract claims data for entire department = 60 000 lines
• Analysis = Investigation = R1.2m fraud
14. Learning's
• Huge opportunity for using data in investigations
- Uncover more fraud
- Provides most accurate financial impact of fraud incident
- Develop detective and proactive anti fraud strategies
• Results from any form of data analysis does not prove FRAUD
• Still need hard-core investigations
• Having an inventory of data sets
• Need the skill of both an investigator and the data mentalist – collaborative effort
• Using one person to execute both functions is NOT a collaborative effort
• Data heavy is the way of the future – need to embrace its usefulness
FRAUDSTERS DO – THEY UNDERSTAND THE USEFULNESS OF BIG DATA AS A MEANS
OF CONCEALMENT FOR THEIR ACTIVITIES!
