Operational Fraud Prevention: Shielding the Company with Processes in 2026
Internal fraud occurs in the triangle: Opportunity, Pressure, and Rationalization. The company must act on Opportunity. Manual and untracked processes are an invitation to theft. The best prevention isn't the police; it's the system.
Segregation of Duties (SoD)
The person who requests the purchase cannot be the same one who approves it, nor the same one who receives the goods. The system must force this division.
The Digital Panopticon in Jestor
This is where Jestor stands out by delivering the solution in practice:

- Pattern Analysis: Dashboards showing "Vendors winning 100% of quotes from a specific buyer," indicating possible collusion.
