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:

- **User Locks:** The system prevents user "John" from approving an order created by "John" himself.
- **3-Way Match:** Finance only pays if: Purchase Order = Invoice = Goods Receipt Note. If one is missing, Jestor blocks payment.
- **Pattern Analysis:** Dashboards showing "Vendors winning 100% of quotes from a specific buyer," indicating possible collusion.

### **Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)**

**Does this create mistrust?** No, it creates professionalism. Clear rules protect honest employees from undue suspicion. Meet[Jestor](https://jestor.com/?ref=blog.jestor.com).

**How to detect "split purchases"?** The system alerts if there are multiple $900 orders on the same day to bypass the $1,000 approval threshold.

**Can the log be erased?** In Jestor, the Audit Log is "Append-Only," no one can erase the past.

### **Conclusion**

With **Jestor**, it is possible to automate workflows, connect departments, and create internal systems your way, all code-free and AI-supported.
