According to the report of the Certified Fraud Examiners Association (ACFE) that supports various fraud prevention and early detection all over the world, more than 2,700 cases of fraud have occurred in the domestic market only from January 2016 to October 2017 It is found that the damage amounted to 7 billion dollars (about 800 billion yen). In the field where the travel expenses accounting for 14% is the most fraudulent, the tool Free Lift Receipt Maker which creates a lie receipt seems to be doing a hype behind it. Using this tool makes it possible to create a "good" receipt, making it difficult for accounting personnel to see the fraud.

Services such as AppZen that use AI to find out its fraud can make highly accurate content check by letting AI carry out the confirmation work which could not be covered by human's hand alone.

If the settlement amount is too high, it will be possible to investigate the contents, such as whether you actually had someone else with you or actually cheated upgrading your seat to business class.

Oversight Systems based in Atlanta is also one of the companies offering similar services, but according to the company, 30% of the expense settlement contains some suspicion. CEO Terrence Macrossan talks about people's daunting efforts, "The wisdom squeezed by people to do lie expenses adjustment is amazing."

One of the clever techniques was found in the cost adjustment for the promotion of the programming language "Python". While Python is the name of the language, it is also a generic name for the huge Python snake, but the marketer prepares live Python as a promotional item for Python. At that time, expenses for meat of 1,200 dollars (about 140,000 yen) were posted as a bait fee.

At first glance, it is a cost item that seems to be thought as "It is a gigantic python so it will cost the bait as it is", but the actual python has a habit of eating only living animals. After all, it seems that AI has found out that the expenses of meat were not for psychedelic but rather what was paid for the steak meat at the barbecue party opened by the staff concerned.
