Anomaly detection
Identifying transactions that deviate from normal patterns.
Definition
Anomaly detection flags records that are statistically unusual relative to their own history — unexpected amounts, timing, frequency or counterparties — for human review.
Why it matters
Reviewing a full population instead of a sample is the main advantage software has over manual audit. Duplicates and threshold-splitting rarely survive full-population testing.
