Anomaly Detection / Mindbridge: We’re exploring tools that support continuous monitoring of financial transactions (e.g., inventory adjustments, journal entries, credit memos, disbursements) to help us identify anomalies earlier than our traditional periodic audits allow. We are a $20B company with 50+ different ERP systems globally (some data is mastered). Our goal is to enhance fraud detection and internal controls using modern, AI/ML analytics tools.
