At the June 2019 ACFE conference I spoke about Fraud Data Analytics (FDA): How to Locate Complex Vendor Overbilling Fraud Risk Statements. My sessions were sold out, so for those unable to hear my presentation I am writing three blogs that explain three of the four fraud risk statements I covered: Price inflation scheme: hidden entity scheme and now we will cover the pass-through scheme. The fourth fraud risk statement was explained in a blog posted on August 18, 2018.
