Foreword Forensic data analytics (FDA) has evolved As a result of these push and pull factors, the demand for FDA considerably over the past two years. In investment has never been higher, and FDA deployments are our 2014 survey, we found that, although maturing. Organizations recognize the value of FDA, and many companies were deploying some forms of FDA, are realizing positive results by deploying advanced technologies against meaningful volumes and varieties of data. many were missing opportunities to leverage But companies need to recognize the full spectrum of value emerging advanced tools that would enable that FDA can bring — far beyond fraud detection — and be more them to greatly strengthen and improve aggressive in its implementation. Although senior management has their risk management and investigative gained much appreciation for the value of FDA, they need to adopt response programs. it beyond the scope of traditional fraud risk management, take action, and invest in the right skills and technologies to realize its In today’s digital world, there are rapidly expanding opportunities potential. for innovation and growth.

Executive summary Despite improving maturity overall, many organizations lack 01 Demand growing across the board an understanding of the wide spectrum of value that FDA can deliver — and few are fully realizing the potential of their FDA deployments, Organizations are looking to use FDA due to concerns over growing particularly around the cost savings and efficiencies gained from current and emerging threats, as well as the increasingly complex the use of FDA. When asked about the main benefits of using FDA, regulatory environment.

This discrepancy between perception and practice is 02 A maturing FDA landscape partly because decision-makers aren’t aware of the broad range of business value that FDA can deliver.

Many of those tools are vital for analyzing large quantities of multi-format data. 4 | Global Forensic Data Analytics Survey 2016
What do we mean by forensic data analytics? In this document, FDA refers to the ability to collect and use data, both structured (e.g., general ledger or transaction data) and unstructured (e.g., email, voice or free-text fields in a database), to prevent, detect, monitor or investigate potentially improper transactions, events or patterns of behavior related to misconduct, fraud and noncompliance issues. 04 What does good look like? Our survey found those organizations receiving positive results from FDA have a number of elements in common. They are more likely to: • Use advanced technology What is cybercrime? In almost every circumstance, those companies using In the context of this survey, cybercrime is the use of a more sophisticated analytics, beyond basic spreadsheet-type, computer and its network to commit fraud such as illicit rules-driven tests, report better fraud detection in less time. transferring of funds, disrupting critical business operations, These successful FDA deployments are harnessing sophisticated or stealing intellectual property (IP), confidential personal analytics tools, including social media and web monitoring, voice data and other critical digital assets. searching and analysis, and visualization and reporting tools. • Analyze more data e have observed a positive correlation between the use of large W data volumes (over 10 million records) and achieving positive results of FDA implementation. The same is relevant to data variety, with those reporting positive results also applying a much broader array of both structured and unstructured data sources.

Once this is appreciated, the business case for FDA becomes clear. Global Forensic Data Analytics Survey 2016 | 5
Demand growing 1 across the board Current and emerging risks are converging to create greater urgency for organizations to use FDA. Cybercrime, insider threats and aggressive regulatory pressure make FDA a growing priority for boards and senior management. 6 | Global Forensic Data Analytics Survey 2016
44% 62% 32% report increasing level of concern report increasing level of concern believe the level of concern over over “bribery and corruption risk.” over “cyber breach or insider “cyber breach or insider threat” threat.” has increased significantly. Current and emerging risks driving demand This year’s survey revealed the fastest-growing threats in the fraud and investigative risk universe are from cyber breaches and insider threats, which include malicious insiders stealing, manipulating or destroying data. Historically, responsibility for managing cyber and insider threat risks falls to an organization’s IT and security departments — not those represented in our survey, who are responsible for the anti-fraud and compliance programs. Yet 62% of our respondents report increasing level of concern regarding this area, while 32% believe it has increased significantly.

Concerns about cyber and insider threat extend across industries. Nine out of nine industries rate the threat of external and internal cyber breaches as their top risk. This strong consistency in the perception of cyber threat is not surprising now that cyber attacks (both internal and external) are a fact of life for business, posing a dynamic, relentless challenge for leading companies. With a growing imperative to protect digital assets — not just physical ones — our respondents see FDA as playing a critical role in managing a broader spectrum of risks. Interestingly, “cyber breach or insider threat” is the second-highest risk area where 70% of respondents are using FDA. “Internal fraud” risk, an area that has long been managed using FDA, was ranked as the top use case at 77%.

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Department of Justice continue to lead the way in robust domestic and extraterritorial enforcement actions. The SEC’s Financial Reporting and Audit Task Force is now deploying cutting-edge FDA tools to mine data for fraud and is engaging whistle-blowers in unprecedented numbers to uncover financial reporting and disclosure problems. “ At the SEC, we have made great strides in leveraging data and technology to detect and pursue misconduct. In the enforcement arena, the Commission US$4.2b is using data analytics to help identify wrongdoers and conduct streamlined investigations to optimize our resources.” SEC Chair Mary Jo White, opening remarks at the 21st Annual International Institute for Securities Enforcement and Market Oversight, 2 November 2015 monetary remedies in this past fiscal year Outside the United States, regulators in the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy and France, among others, have been involved in major enforcement actions. In Asia, prosecutions for corruption are increasingly frequent, with China leading the way. Parallel investigations are also becoming more common, with the European Commission and Japanese regulators teaming with their US counterparts on cartel investigations. Cross-border cooperation among prosecutors is strong and will only strengthen as emerging markets, including India, Brazil and many Asian countries, pass anti-bribery/ anti-corruption legislation or take steps to bolster their enforcement efforts. Increased urgency by C-suites to adopt FDA The cost of getting it wrong is becoming too grave to ignore. Facing the severity of fraud risks and the threat of regulatory enforcement, C-suite respondents have a stronger sense % of urgency around FDA adoption than other executives. Overall, 69% of respondents agree 74 with the statement: “We need to do more to improve our current anti-fraud procedures, including the use of FDA tools.” But this percentage jumped to 74% for the C-suite cohort. of C-suite In addition, 31% of respondents say one of the main reasons to increase FDA investment respondents is pressure from the board or management team. They also cite corporate executive “ We need to do more to improve management and the board as the first- and third-highest beneficiaries of FDA activities, our current anti-fraud procedures, moving up from second and fifth, respectively, two years ago. including the use of FDA tools.” “ As we look toward COSO guidance around conducting fraud risk assessments as part of an effective internal controls framework, we will see a strong emphasis on the use of forensic data analytics.” Vincent Walden, Partner, Forensic Technology & Discovery Services, FIDS US, EY 10 | Global Forensic Data Analytics Survey 2016

A maturing 2 FDA landscape Many organizations are increasing their focus on FDA deployment, with increased spending on advanced tools and proactive monitoring of larger volumes of data. However, some are failing to recognize that the value FDA can bring to anti-fraud programs goes beyond just detection and investigation. 12 | Global Forensic Data Analytics Survey 2016
Companies want to spend more on FDA to manage today’s risk 2014 Growing organizational demand for greater FDA investment is being driven by awareness of the value it can deliver and emerging risks. We expect this trend to continue into the future 64% as data volumes and varieties continue to expand, more technologies become available and regulatory scrutiny increases. Two years ago, 64% of our respondents felt their investment 2016 in FDA was sufficient; this year, only 55% are confident they are spending enough. Three out of five respondents plan to increase their spend on FDA over the next two years. 55 We see a clear correlation between the respondents’ FDA spend and their perceptions % of risk in the chart below. of respondents think their FDA spend is sufficient.

Over the past two years, how has the level of concern about each risk area changed in your organization? Base: All respondents (665); those who expect to increase FDA spend over the next two years (406) Multiple answers allowed, may exceed 100%. Companies working with data sets that push the limit of traditional spreadsheet tools (i.e., more than 10 million records) are also more likely to be planning significant increases in their FDA spend. In contrast, only 13% of those analyzing fewer than 1 million data records are planning to significantly increase investment in FDA. “ In my opinion, we need to invest more money to get the best forensic data analysis tools that are available in the market.” Head of Internal Audit, Capital Markets, France Global Forensic Data Analytics Survey 2016 | 13
Companies are investing more of their FDA spend on proactive initiatives Given so much management focus on fraud prevention, this year’s survey included 63% a new question to gauge how much of a company’s FDA activities are proactive — as opposed to merely reacting to an investigation or adverse event. The results are of respondents striking. Sixty-three percent of the respondents are investing at least half of their FDA spend on proactive monitoring initiatives. spend at least half of their FDA We believe this strong proactive stance is in response to regulatory enforcement investment on proactive initiatives concerns, as well as improved surveillance analytics and compliance monitoring offerings in the market. With governments imposing substantial monetary penalties — sometimes accompanied by prison sentences for executives — organizations have every incentive to improve their FDA programs to better prevent and detect fraud. Companies investing in proactive activities also understand the value of FDA in reducing the costs of anti-fraud programs. According to the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners’ most current Report to the Nations on Occupational Fraud and Abuse, those companies with proactive data analytics in place saw a cost per fraud incident that was 59.7% lower (roughly US$100,000 lower per incident) than those companies not using proactive data analytics — more than any other control listed in the survey. Further, the median duration of a fraud incident with respect to the presence of proactive data analytics was half the time — 12 months versus 24 months. Growing sophistication in technology and the use of data Technology maturity is also growing. The use of visualization tools has doubled since our 2014 survey. Respondents also report the increasing use of social and web monitoring tools and statistical analysis and data mining packages. Half of the respondents, however, report that their adoption of advanced analytics technologies remains immature. For example, spreadsheets are still the most common tool used to manage fraud risk, with more than three-quarters of respondents indicating their use. Clearly, there is still more work to be done. The nature, variety and complexity of structured and unstructured data is changing at an exponential rate — causing companies to rethink how they monitor rogue or noncompliant activities. The Internet of Things has added another dimension to the data. In many organizations, machines are communicating with other machines without human involvement. Employees are often communicating outside corporate networks using social media, mobile phones or web logs. All of these scenarios exemplify how traditional monitoring or investigative analytics techniques deployed a decade ago may no longer be as effective given the nature, variety and complexity of data in today’s organizations. Given that unstructured content accounts for around 90% of an organization’s digital information,1 it’s encouraging to see that 75% of respondents routinely analyze a wide range of structured and unstructured data. Businesses can yield great benefits by combining structured and unstructured data (emails, file metadata, audio and video files, etc.) in their analysis to gain a comprehensive view of their risk environment. For example, comments from sales logs can show an individual’s intent to commit a fraud, while a financial transaction can provide the evidence. 1 Unlocking the Hidden Value of Information, IDC website, www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=prUS24993814, accessed 23 November 2015. 14 | Global Forensic Data Analytics Survey 2016

Which FDA tools do you utilize in managing fraud risk? Base: 2016 all respondents (665); 2014 all respondents (466) Multiple answers allowed, may exceed 100%. Multiple deployment options Increasing numbers of organizations are bringing FDA deployment in-house. Respondents conducting FDA completely in-house increased from 45% two years ago to 67%. In the last two years, leading technology companies have also responded to this growing in-house FDA trend by introducing enterprise-class surveillance and insider threat capabilities to help companies better prevent, detect, monitor or investigate potentially improper transactions, events or patterns of behavior related to misconduct, fraud and noncompliance issues. For example, IBM has introduced IBM Counter Fraud, and SAP has introduced SAP Fraud Management. SAS has also strengthened its offering around its Fraud & Security Intelligence solution. However, deploying these new software capabilities, whether in-house, via the cloud or through a managed service model, requires a multidisciplinary group of professionals who have domain and subject matter knowledge (to ask the right business questions), data science and data management expertise (to translate business questions into meaningful analytics), as well as systems and IT infrastructure expertise (to maintain and secure the platform for use).

Top challenges faced by those currently Notably, a large percentage of companies are also seeking outside help for FDA, either considering outsourcing: on a project-by-project basis or through managed service arrangements. Twenty-four Challenges in combining data sources percent of respondents are already outsourcing either as projects or as a managed service; another 9% are considering it. In these circumstances, the benefits of outsourcing Lack of budget and resources outweigh the large capital investment required to build in-house FDA technologies and skill Lack of expertise sets. Outsourcing enables the companies to quickly ramp up their FDA capabilities and focus on the analytics consumption and interpretation. The finding is consistent with IDC’s Inadequate technologies currently market forecast for business analytics process outsourcing services, which estimates a in place 2 14.2% compound annual growth rate through 2019. Organizations are not recognizing the full spectrum of value FDA can deliver Despite the risk universe evolving, the main perceived benefits of FDA have not changed to keep pace. In line with our survey’s findings two years ago, respondents continue to identify the top three perceived benefits of using FDA in their anti-fraud programs as “ability to detect fraud that we couldn’t detect before,” “early fraud detection” and “faster response in investigations.” Figure 8: Main benefits of FDA — not fully realized Ability to detect fraud that we couldn’t detect before 79% Early fraud detection 78% Faster response in investigations 71% Increased business transparency 66% Getting the business to take more responsibility 64% for managing the company's anti-fraud program Reduced costs of anti-fraud program 42% Q.

As indicated in Figure 8, although the top three selected benefits of using FDA are clearly important, both from risk mitigation and cost avoidance perspectives, it is surprising to see how few respondents selected “reduced costs of anti-fraud program.” Only two in five see the potential for FDA to reduce the costs of their anti-fraud programs as a main benefit. By using current technology capabilities and leading analytics to help focus investigative and compliance monitoring efforts, FDA can be an important enabler of cost reduction. 2 IDC Worldwide Business Analytics Services Forecast, 2015–2019, November 2015. 16 | Global Forensic Data Analytics Survey 2016

The resulting focus of FDA investment on more traditional fraud risks rather than cybercrime or internal threats appears to be due to budgets and is clearly a gap to be bridged. 79% of emerging markets “ In Asia-Pacific, we are seeing more and more companies respondents think that FDA could play a significant role in investing in advanced forensic data analytics capabilities combating cyber and insider risks. for effective compliance monitoring, as well as fraud prevention and detection.” Reuben Khoo, Principal, Forensic Technology & Discovery Services, FIDS Singapore, EY 20 | Global Forensic Data Analytics Survey 2016
FDA deployment: what are the 3 key hurdles? To realize FDA’s full potential, organizations need to deploy the right technology and develop new skills. But to justify the investment required on both fronts, FDA proponents must be able to articulate a business case that demonstrates the full value chain of FDA. Global Forensic Data Analytics Survey 2016 | 21
Making the business case for FDA to management Our survey reveals that organizational reluctance to invest significantly in FDA is partly due to lack of management buy-in around its potential return on investment. Respondents believe they need to be better equipped to articulate the business case of FDA to management: 68% say they need to improve management’s awareness of the benefits of FDA in their anti-fraud programs. “ [We need to] … educate management on what constitutes adequate funding. It’s not Business context just about support from management; they must recognize the need to invest in of FDA improving our fraud investigation capabilities.” Head of Compliance, Banking and Capital Markets, Singapore When articulating the business value of FDA, the conversation needs to This finding highlights a discrepancy between perception and practice. In our survey, focus on the full spectrum of business we found that senior management has an increased sense of urgency to adopt FDA, yet value and stakeholder beneficiaries. respondents also cite the need to educate this group on the need for sufficient investment. Below are common use cases: We believe the gap between perception (that management can see the need for FDA) and practice (their reluctance to fund it) can stem from the lack of awareness of the full Regulatory and litigation spectrum of risk management benefits that FDA can deliver. response 1 Figure 11: Growing need for management’s awareness Internal or cyber-breach 68% investigations 2 62% — 2014 3 Surveillance analytics Internal and external 18% 4audit support 13% Agree Neither agree nor disagree Disagree ▀ ▀ ▀ Industry-specific fraud and compliance Q.

Building teams with the right skills “ We need a new IT team — analytics is a different area, and our operational staff For successful deployment, the human element of FDA is an important consideration, are not analytics people. It is a different requiring three distinct skill sets: skill set.” • Technical skills — to understand the organization’s systems and advise on acquiring CFO, Transportation, Singapore additional technology • Domain knowledge — familiarity with the relevant risk areas in the business and the ability to interpret analytics results in the context of the organization • Data analytics (e.g., data science) expertise — mathematical, computer science and business intelligence techniques, such as pattern recognition, statistical analysis, query design and data visualization Yet few organizations have all of these skills in place, as evidenced by the emerging trend reported toward outsourcing. Although more than 80% of our respondents say their organizations have sufficient domain knowledge, about one-third lack data analytics expertise and nearly 40% lack technical skills. Clearly, one key enabler to realizing the full value of FDA is adequate training and expertise. To develop a comprehensive and effective FDA program, companies need to tie all three skill sets together — this typically involves teaming among compliance, legal, internal audit, the business and IT. According to Gartner, the need for data scientists is growing at about three Deploying the right technology times that for statisticians and business intelligence analysts, and there is an Respondents continue to rate “challenges in combining data sources” as the top issue to anticipated 100,000-plus-person analytic overcome in implementing FDA. This suggests that organizations need to think about their 3 talent shortage through 2020. data holistically, deploy the right technology and promote the required skill sets. Building data sets that talk to one another is the first step to successful analytics. Another sticking point for moving to more advanced tools appears to be budget, which our respondents rank as the second-largest FDA challenge — higher than in our previous survey. However, analytics technology has improved, making deployment and accessibility easier. For example, more “self-service” applications are available via the cloud that require less customization to implement. Further, significant improvements in computing power and scalability (i.e., Hadoop), combined with ever-decreasing storage costs, make the use of FDA more cost-effective. These developments help demonstrate the return on investment of FDA to senior management and should bolster the FDA business case. “ The human element is perhaps the most important factor to achieving long-term success. To succeed, ask the ANALYTICS: DON’T FORGET THE HUMAN ELEMENT right business questions that address key DATA AND ANALYTICS IMPACT INDEX risks, and engage the stakeholders in the Don’t forget the human element design. Only then should they map those of your FDA program questions to the right technology and data sources.” Chris Mazzei, Chief Analytics Officer, EY “ In 39% of leading analytics organizations — versus 12% of the rest — analytics skills are recognized, effective, efficient, monitored and clearly used to support decisions. More than one-third of the top 10% also have well-defined competencies for each role and level, along with robust training programs that address potential skills shortages.” EY and Forbes Insights, Data and Analytics Impact Index: don’t forget the human element of analytics, 2015. http://www.forbes.com/forbesinsights/ey_data_analytics_2015/index.html 3 Defining and Differentiating the Role of Data Scientist, Doug Laney, Gartner 2012 Global Forensic Data Analytics Survey 2016 | 23
What does good 4 look like? Not every organization is getting the full spectrum of value from FDA, but the ones that are have a number of elements in common. They are more likely to use advanced FDA tools that enable them to analyze larger volumes of data from a wide range of data sources, both structured and unstructured. They put a higher percentage of their total anti-fraud program spend into FDA, and they tend to focus on proactive activities, not just reactive ones. 24 | Global Forensic Data Analytics Survey 2016
Survey respondents who say they are currently getting positive results or recoveries from their FDA tools are more likely to: 01 Use advanced technology Companies that successfully deploy FDA harness sophisticated analytics tools. A much higher percentage of those who report positive results are using social media, web monitoring and visualization tools. 56% Figure 12: The use of advanced FDA technologies agree Visualization 29% “ We currently get positive results 20% or recoveries from the FDA tools Social media 30% that we use.” 14% Statistical analysis 7% 2% Agree Disagree �▀ ▀ Q.

Our survey shows a high correlation between reports of positive results and the use of large data volumes. Seventy-nine percent of those reporting positive results, versus 11% of those who don’t, are using more than 10 million records, which are typically outside the domain of spreadsheets and thus require more sophisticated tools for analysis. Of those who are not seeing positive results with FDA, data volume analyzed is low, with only a small minority of respondents analyzing more than 1 million records. Companies are likely to see better results from their FDA tools when they start applying them to more of their data.

03 Analyze a wide variety of data Those seeing positive results are also analyzing a wider variety of data from both structured and unstructured data sources. Our survey findings indicate that respondents who have reported positive results from using FDA are using a wider variety of data sources. This offers another avenue for companies with low-volume data to leverage FDA more effectively: broadening the data sources they analyze could make their analytics more effective.

FDA maturity model In our 2014 survey, we introduced an FDA maturity model that provides a four-quadrant “ We have to bring innovative and effective framework for assessing an FDA program’s precision (i.e., its ability to better detect relevant technology to eliminate or curtail money risk issues) and accuracy (i.e., its ability to reduce the number of false positives). laundering or cybercrime, as well as to In that model, the most mature companies integrate all four quadrants of analytics achieve more transparency.” capabilities into their FDA activities, adopting advanced data analytics technologies and CFO, Retail and Wholesale, India combining structured and unstructured data. We have since updated the model to show the progression of an organization’s FDA maturity journey starting from rules-based, descriptive tests and reports, through keyword searching, data visualization, topic modeling and linguistic analysis, to statistical and predictive techniques. The model still suggests that as multiple analytics techniques are incorporated, the fraud detection rate increases and the false positive rate decreases. It also highlights the importance of considering both structured and unstructured data sources as indicated by the yellow arrows, regardless of the techniques being used. Our survey revealed that, overall, companies have increased their FDA maturity since 2014. “ When combined with industry knowledge The vast majority of companies are adopting more advanced tools. Statistical use cases rose and investigative experience, insights 7%; the use of unstructured data sources rose 8%. Of note, within unstructured data sources, gained from the use of leading forensic the highest growth category was the use of email, up 16% from 57% to 73%, while the use of data analytics techniques can get clients call log and phone data more than doubled from 20% to 41%.

Embracing the FDA revolution: going 5 the distance The rapidly evolving digital world is seeing more and more new risks for companies to evaluate, manage and mitigate. As a result, regulators are employing more tools to detect noncompliance and working across borders to prosecute offenders. This environment has alerted boardrooms to the need to manage their risk much more effectively than before. 32 | Global Forensic Data Analytics Survey 2016
Companies recognize their vulnerabilities, and many more are using technology and tools, particularly around visualization, to extract more from their data. In-house capabilities are increasing, but so are outsourced services. Yet firms are failing to appreciate the full value of FDA technologies, commit to them and reap their benefits. One major reason for FDA tools being less effective than they could be is the lack of investment. Although the C-suite is aware of the need for these tools, many companies do not invest enough in the right technology or the right skill sets to follow through and close the loop. The signals are clear. Companies that have benefited greatly from their FDA investment use advanced technology to analyze both large volumes and a wide variety of data. They invest more of their total risk management and investigative spend in FDA. Many organizations have already taken steps to monitor risks proactively. They have in place systems to monitor, detect and combat risks, rather than merely react to allegations and crises. Still, 37% of the respondents spend more than half of their FDA investment on reactive matters. We believe these organizations should consider investing more in proactive measures that can result in better risk management up front and reduce potential cost from fraudulent activities or noncompliance in the long run. Emerging markets are showing awareness of cybercrime, but they have not committed as many resources to combating it as their counterparts in developed markets. Lack of funding appears to be a major constraint, but this also leaves companies at increased risk of an attack. The final picture of FDA in 2016 is of a technology that is slowly gaining traction and “ We need to provide better technical beginning to yield returns on investment. But companies have not yet thrown their full training to our people and improve the weight behind the paradigm, choosing instead to invest piecemeal and reap only some quality of information in our corporate of the benefits. In order to leverage the full power of FDA, firms need to commit, invest systems and applications.” 5and implement the strategy in its entirety.
