About the webinar

In late 2018, SAS surveyed 850 leaders across EMEA, to understand the scale of the problem and the extent to which organisations currently recognise and attempt to combat procurement fraud and error.

SAS wanted to assess current methods of combatting procurement fraud, while recommending best practice strategies and technologies.

In this live discussion we will look at:

  • Key insights from the research and what they can teach us
  • Examples of organisations who have successfully used Analytics and AI to detect and prevent fraud
  • 4 steps every organisation can take to tackle fraud and error
