Government Fraud, Waste and Abuse

Your best defense against improper payments is to identify poorly designed processes as well as detect fraudulent activity and hidden relationships in the enormous amounts of operational data that underpin the day-to-day business of government. SAS approaches the problem by delivering software and services to help you:

• Improve information credibility by integrating disparate data sources - regardless of format – and applying embedded data quality techniques to ensure accuracy.
• Enhance the effectiveness of audits and investigations by predicting future risks, uncovering hidden relationships and detecting subtle patterns of behavior that may indicate fraud by visualizing data from multiple angles and prioritizing suspicious cases.
• Deliver insight for quick, confident decisions via a Web-based portal that lets decision makers perform interactive queries and generate meaningful reports.
• Demonstrate financial accountability with a consistent approach to financial management that improves organizational responsibility, fraud deterrence and process transparency by monitoring expenditures and tightening internal controls.
• Measure program performance by defining and monitoring key performance metrics via a dashboard environment to determine how effective and efficient your programs are at deterring fraud and improper payments.
