Journal Entry Classification uses AI to assign each manual journal entry to a risk category (routine, unusual, or high-risk) based on entry attributes, posting patterns, and account combinations, enabling targeted audit focus during the financial close, by classifying entries against learned risk patterns from historical audit findings, across general ledger and financial close workflows.
Internal audit and controller teams review manual journal entries during close using sampling-based approaches that cannot systematically focus on the highest-risk entries. High-risk patterns (round-number amounts, entries near period-end, reversals that mask earlier errors) are identifiable in principle but require manual screening of thousands of entries to find.
The AI reads each manual journal entry's attributes (amount, date, account combination, preparer, authoriser, description) and classifies it into a risk tier based on patterns identified in historical audit-flagged entries. High-risk-tier entries are surfaced to the controller and internal audit team for review during close.
High-risk journal entry audit coverage rate improves; time to identify manual journal entry anomalies during close decreases.

AI-driven fraud detection systems analyze vast transaction and behavioral data in real time to identify and prevent fraudulent activities. Leveraging machine learning, generative AI, and graph neural networks, these solutions improve detect
Journal Entry Anomaly Detection uses AI to flag unusual journal entries, enabling tighter ledger control, by detecting anomalies across entries, account combinations, and posting history, across general ledger and close.
Payment Fraud Detection uses AI to identify potentially fraudulent payment instructions in the outgoing payment run before settlement, enabling treasury and accounts payable to intercept suspicious transactions before funds leave the organisation, by flagging instructions that deviate from vendor payment history, amount norms, and bank account patterns, across treasury and accounts payable fraud management workflows.
