Data Analytics: Fighting Fraud in State & Local Government

To outsmart even the most sophisticated forms of fraud, state and local government investigators are turning to data analytics to uncover clues they might have otherwise missed.

Fraud perpetrators are becoming increasingly sophisticated and often take advantage of the lack of communication across government agencies. To outsmart them, some state and local government investigators are turning to analytics to uncover clues by using predictive modeling and rules analysis to identify high-risk cases and nullify transactions before they are completed, through prioritizing response and recovery operations to improper payments made in the past, and by mapping the threat landscape to better predict future challenges.
