Fraud Detection & Prevention
Build fraud management directly into your daily operations with Alessa. Using risk intelligence data and advanced analytics such as anomaly detection and machine learning, our solution is able to detect high-risk activities, persons and businesses.
At Alessa we help organizations focus on prevention as opposed to expensive investigations and cost-recovery services.
Continuous Controls Monitoring
Whether through internal audit or risk management units, Alessa can continuously monitor internal controls and processes to detect failures and prevent the loss of time, money and reputation.
This is done by allowing organizations to assess performance of programs against targets, flagging potential violations and connecting disparate data sources to create aggregate insights that can be used to identify control breakdowns and opportunities to improve controls, governance and efficiencies.
Transaction Monitoring
Alessa offers the ability to screen transactions in real-time, by events and/or periodically. The solution feeds transactions into the analytics platform and depending on the configuration, will either allow, flag or block transactions.
High-risk transactions can be sent for further investigation using Alessa’s workflow and case management module and a decision made to confirm or release the block.
All workflows are configurable to be as granular or simple as required. Features include assignments to users/teams, permissions, escalations and root cause indicators.
