Travel Fraud Risk Scoring Continuous Control Monitoring
Description
Monitor key control points for travel fraud risk scoring; flag missing approvals, SoD conflicts, late postings, or incomplete evidence before month-end close. The MVP would connect ERP transactions, vendor master, travel, payroll, contract pay, public/exclusion lists, investigative data and produce read-only recommendations for DoD OIG, DFAS, Components, DCAA/DCMA where applicable.

Automation level / stage
continuous assurance
Expected benefit
More timely control issue detection, reduced repeat findings, stronger ongoing assurance.
Audit / financial statement impact
Expenses, accounts payable, accounts receivable, compliance reporting
Controls / human review
Human approval required before posting, payment, denial, personnel action, or official audit response; model validation; drift monitoring; exception sampling; full prompt/data/output logging.
Data needed
ERP transactions, vendor master, travel, payroll, contract pay, public/exclusion lists, investigative data; master/reference data; audit logs; policy/control requirements; prior exceptions; relevant document evidence.
Possible metrics
control exceptions detected before close; SoD conflicts remediated; repeat findings reduced
MVP scope
Start with one Component/reporting entity and one subprocess (travel fraud risk scoring) for two close/audit cycles; read-only outputs first.
