Payments integrity and fraud system blueprint
This system evaluates each proposed payment against supplier records, approval policy, bank details, sanctions data and historical behaviour before release. It stops or escalates unusual instructions with an evidence bundle while leaving the final payment decision with authorised finance users.

Operating brief
What starts the system
A payment proposal, beneficiary change or bank-detail amendment.
No automated rule can bypass bank mandates, maker-checker approval or sanctions holds.
Operating sequence
How the system works
1. Validate payment and beneficiary details against master data and approved change history.
2. Score policy, duplication, sanctions and behavioural anomalies with an explainable reason.
3. Release clean items to the authorised process and route flagged items for independent review.
Inputs
- Payment proposals and approval history
- Supplier master and beneficiary bank details

Outputs

Controls
