DATA SOLUTIONS FOR BRIBERY

DATA ANALYTICS SOLUTIONS TO FIGHT AGAINST BRIBERY

One should first distinguish active bribery from passive bribery because the processes are different, but the detection method will use the same approach.

Find out what is possible.

Detecting bribery is difficult by nature but there are signs that could be helpful
Both the means to bribe and the effects of the bribes (received advantage) should be reviewed
Both the bribes and the received advantages could be analysed with data analytics models and Condor Strike methodology, but approaches will differ somehow whether it is active or passive.

To detect potential signs of active bribery, one can :

study the ways to provide bribes by reviewing accounting transactions with data analytics. Models will enable review the financial flows that could fund the providing of bribes (travel expenses, gifts, use of consultants, over-invoicing of goods and services…) as defined by the Sapin II law.
detect bribes financing by assessing the internal fraud amounts (theft, embezzlement) that could enable untraced fuel cash and goods providing (see Data analytics to fight against Fraud).
Review the impacts of the advantage that were reeived through the bribes. Data analytics can help by reviewing unusual trends or spot unusual items in the related areas showing unexpected rise (for instance: unusual rise of sales) or unexplained decrease in losses (for instance : amounts of fines or refusals going down). We can help you define the relevant indicators.

It is difficult to detect passive bribery because internal data cannot be useful to identify the bribery flows.

Nevertheless, one can:

Go beyond the usual external red flags and use the missing data method to study the behaviour of the suspected bribed subject (lack of vacation, lack of rise…).
Analyse the potential impacts of the bribes that could be a rise (for instance the rise of returns of products because of the choice of a supplier with poor quality) or a loss (for instance a decrease in the time to make controls because people are paid not to do them).

There are many data that can be used depending on your sector that can be used to assess these impacts.

La corruption active de la corruption passive doivent être traités différemment, car elles reposent sur des processus différents, mais la méthode de détection va reposer sur la même approche.

Découvrez ce qu’il est possible de faire.

Détecter la corruption est difficile, mais il existe des moyens d’identifier des signes.

Les moyens de la corruption ne sont pas les seuls processus à considérer, il faut aussi prendre en compte les effets de la corruption (contreparties reçues)

Les contreparties, comme les avantages reçus peuvent être analysés avec des modèles de data analytics et avec la méthodologie Condor Strike mais avec des logiques différentes selon qu’elles soient actives ou passives.
