One supplier-bank-change scam empties €500K in 48 hours and your team finds out at the next reconciliation. Sanctions get screened monthly while fraud happens daily. AP can't tell a real supplier email from a phishing one anymore. Internal audit shows up after the fraud and asks why nothing flagged it.
Fraud Agent watches every supplier change, every invoice, every payment instruction in real time. It cross-references Astral's canonical identity graph, runs sanctions and PEP screening on every transaction, detects executive-impersonation patterns, catches duplicate-payment attempts across entities and currencies, and runs statistical anomaly detection (Benford's law, outlier amounts, off-pattern timing) on every payable. Suspicious payments are held pre-execution, routed to named owners with the full reasoning chain attached.
