Session Description

Regardless of how ethical an organization is, the potential for fraud and error is always present. Something as simple as an address can lead you to potential fraud, errors or other items that require further investigation. The challenge in working with addresses is how much they can vary. Matching large batches of data from different sources requires the use of data analysis techniques and applications to apply proximity reasonableness. This session provides examples coving a wide range of industries to demonstrate how IDEA can be used to detect errors, waste, abuse and other opportunities.
 

Learning Objectives

  • How to prepare data from different sources to perform proximity analysis
  • Effective analytics tests to use in searching for matches or fuzzy matches
  • Techniques for automating the testing and reporting process
