Payroll fraud comes in many forms including incorrect hourly rate, paychecks to non-employees, missing tax information, falsified timesheets and altered entitlements.
Breeding grounds for fraud most often occur in large organizations with thousands of employees, those with multiple locations, those with disparate payroll processing and attendance tracking systems, those with multiple payrolls running in a month, and those with high attrition rates.
Fraud and control errors in payroll expose organizations to regulatory risk including fines and penalties. Additionally, if the baseline payroll is miscomputed due to control issues or fraud, there is a likelihood that statutory statements and contributions to concerned authorities are also incorrect.
What Payroll Fraud Analyzer Does
Payroll fraud analyzer will help you spot and address fraud, waste, and abuse with speed and accuracy. Our solution utilizes prebuilt analytics, algorithms and intuitive dashboards to identify exceptions and potential fraud by analyzing payroll register, employee master, time reports, etc. Rather than relying exclusively on back-end processes and reports, managers can use an analytical approach to flag potential anomalies and guide enforcement.
By sifting through millions of hours of reported work and matching it against other HR system data, we create a model that lets you find, understand, and quantify your payroll problems. And to prevent them from recurring, our approach also includes a corrective action plan that can be deployed to prevent ongoing issues.

Common Payroll Fraud Schemes
Payroll processing. We look for unusual rises in pay or bonuses, commission irregularities, and suspect paycheck recipients.
Ghost employees. In larger companies, falsified personnel records are more easily unobserved for periods of time. Our algorithmic analyses are able to identify suspects.
Inconsistent employee records. We’ll help identify missing pieces of data including tax IDs, addresses and undisclosed relationships with suppliers. We’ll also pinpoint unusual attendance patterns and unauthorized changes to employee records.
Overtime manipulation. One of the most common problems, falsified overtime can be easily discovered through our analysis.
Time sheet abuse. We’ll uncover irregularities such as PTO being paid to terminate employees, excessive or falsified hours and altered attendance statuses.
