“In order to protect the vast majority of
our honest clients against the
fraudulent practices of the few, we have
introduced SAS® Fraud Framework.
We always assume that all customers
are honest − but at the same time, we
know that we reveal fraud to the tune of
more than EUR 5.3 million annually. We
are more and more dependent on self-
service to let our clients file their
insurance claims at the time and place
which suit them best. To make sure that
we can still find the fraudsters even
when people are filing claims online, we
are dependent on strong processes
and systems,”

Claims.2013 story here.

CHALLENGES DRIVING CHANGES
Fraud is on the rise & today’s
schemes are:
• Increasingly sophisticated –
organized, patient, share rules
• More agile, evolving strategies
• Higher velocity/faster
• Cross industry
• Multi channel
• Advanced technologies
• Engage insiders to understand
detection environment
Current Fraud Systems are no
longer fit for purpose
• Silo’d by line of business - No
sharing of data
• Act on transaction or customer
• Rules and predictive models
alone have limitations
• No real proactive steps taken
to combat cross channel fraud
• Evidence insufficient to act
upon
• Investigation time consuming

APPLICATION
FRAUDCHANGING TREND: MOVING TOWARDS PREVENTION
Challenge to reduce losses now bigger than ever
Sophistication of fraud techniques still increasing.
Increased use of new channels, e.g. online driving new fraud
modus operandi.
Existing efforts somewhat exhausted
Organisations have invested in claims fraud detection.
Making a positive impact but need to get inventive and find other
opportunities in the value chain to reduce losses
Looking at prevention
More pro-active thinking is shifting the focus to application fraud.
By stopping a fraudster at the point of policy application you can keep the
‘bad’ out of the organisation.
Improving the application fraud process
Organisations need to ‘know their customer’, which relies on better use of
data, often already in-house.
A holistic view of the organisation with appropriate analytics allows the insurer to
generate an accurate fraud risk assessment of each application.
