Fraud Detection
Estimating improper payments and devising solutions to eliminate them requires a unique skill set. It is a challenge for agencies to find staff with statistical sampling, fraud investigation, and data analysis skills. This challenge is multiplied by increasing fraud activity, diminishing resources, increasing numbers of recipients, increasing amount of payments, very large data sources, and the difficulty of distinguishing between proper and improper payments on a large scale.
