Founded in 1999. ‘Do-It-Yourself’ with DataShark A/P

  • secure, web-based P2P operational

analysis solution developed specifically to empower A/P to drive:

– Business process – Special projects – Duplicate payment identification & recovery – Risk management

Recovery Audit Services

  • Standalone OR
  • Complementary to DataShark A/P
  • Based on each customer’s resource & needs

Identifying Duplicates: The Battle Begins

slide-9
SLIDE 9

What is a False Positive?

  • A transaction identified as a duplicate

payments but is not

  • E.g. monthly & regular payments

– Rent & lease payments – Utility – Contractual

Why???

  • A: Specificity of the algorithms
  • High specificity

– Highly accurate – Software users will use the obvious few – While captures many, also misses many.

  • Low specificity

– Cast net wider but capture a high volume

  • f noise

– Lacks refinement

False Positives

Applying Algorithms

1 Algorithms 200 High # of candidates Low

# of pairs of candidate duplicate transactions True duplicate payments Noise

slide-11
SLIDE 11

High Resource Needs

  • The large volume of candidate transactions

require significant resource to review.

  • Can review the same transaction multiple

times.

Limited Analysis

  • Reduce # of algorithms
  • Set high floor of transactions reviewed

– E.g. $2000 or higher

  • Limit comparison timeframe

– E.g. Compare to transactions within last 6 months

The Knock-On Effect

The End Result

SLIDE 14

Maintain control of the audit process

  • Technology Insight performs the identification
  • Customers perform the research and recovery

Maximize duplicate payment recoveries

  • Technology Insight is not limited in the number
  • f algorithms it can use
  • Cast a wide net

Our Customers

slide-15
SLIDE 15

Minimize resource needs

  • Proprietary refinement technology & process

removes noise of obvious false positives

  • Deliver 50% and higher true duplicate payment

Receive comprehensive operational A/P reports & metrics

  • Over 200 standard operational reports
  • Each solution customized to meet the customer’s

specific reporting needs on an ongoing basis

Duplicate Payment Identification

  • Invoice to Invoice

(153+ algorithms)

  • Invoice to P-Card / T&E

(150+ algorithms)

  • Accounts for:

cross system cross vendor cross currency duplicate vendors data entry errors – all fields and more…

  • Initial Refinement

credits monthly / regular payments and more…

  • Assigns % likelihood
  • f being a duplicate
  • Data from disparate

invoice systems:

Duplicate Payment Identification

  • Delivery via secure website
  • Duplicates prioritized by

% likelihood & value

  • Customer manages

research & recovery with DataShark Tracking & Recovery tool

  • Customer results used

to continuously refine algorithms

  • Target 50% and higher

true duplicate payment hit rate

  • Manual process by
  • TIC analyst
  • Review 100% of output
  • Systematically modifying

algorithms to remove obvious ‘noise’

  • Detailed manual review

using proprietary DataShark Dashboard

  • Provides comments based
  • n research results
  • Ongoing refinement of

each customer’s solution

Technology Insight classifies as “Best Buy”

Data from Procurement Card Company

P-Card Data

  • P-card and T&E data is handled

in the same manner.

  • Vendor Name Clean-up

– Data is cleaned & modified to create a Parent vendor master file. – A time consuming & manual process
