Are you certain your client’s processes are watertight?

Give your client’s business a thorough health check!  

A director or owner may have a suspicion that something is not quite right, e.g. an increasing payroll without an increase in employees or unusually higher supplier payments. 

However, in today’s highly scrutinised business environment, with its sharp focus on corporate governance responsibilities, failure to act on suspicions can prove disastrous. You need technological tools so powerful they can quickly identify errors, irregularities and suspect transactions deep down in your client’s business.

Our DTect data analysis and interrogation tool can identify and isolate suspicious financial transactions which lurk undetected within vast data fields used in the course of everyday business. DTect deals with all financial data – from payroll and HR to purchasing and sales data. As a sophisticated and rigorous analytical tool, it is unmatched in providing an insight into business - one that is transparent, all encompassing and revealing.  It exposes what your client may not know about their organisation and gives them control over the data they collate. Think of it as a comprehensive health check for your client’s business.

Poor quality data held in computer systems such as customer or supplier databases can have an adverse effect on your client’s business. DTect will “clean”, standardise and validate your client’s data significantly improving its overall quality.

DTect can spot potential ghost employees or fictitious suppliers, suspicious payroll increases, inexplicable cost increases, overpayments and duplications, missing inventories, transaction inconsistencies and a host of other things that just don’t stack up under close examination.

It then flags these discrepancies for further investigation and highlights where your client should introduce risk management processes. It also provides other value-add business intelligence such as sales growth per quarter, profile of top suppliers etc.
