About Us

Make your business better. Keep out of trouble.

We know firsthand how hard the job of compliance already is and with recent DOJ’s hirings of high-profile data analytics and compliance experts, the bar has been raised for corporate legal and compliance departments to measurably demonstrate that their compliance program is not only in place, but it is actually working, in practice.

KonaAI harnesses the power of automation, data visualization and artificial intelligence, coupled with proven methodologies informed by real-world investigative experience, to bring an out-of-the-box software solution to compliance & risk professionals that is on-premises, rapidly deployable, accurate, easy-to-use, cost-effective, and most importantly, aligns with DOJ compliance monitoring and data analytics expectations.

Bring AI-driven Transparency to Build Your Bottom Line

Kona AI - Improper payments
Incorporate the highest level of compliance data analytics technology, blend it with two decades of investigative and Big 4 forensic technology expertise, add leading Machine Learning algorithms backed by MIT, and the result is Kona AI.
 
All of this has been built to enable you to:
  • Return lost money to your company’s balance sheet
  • Spot high-risk payments and third parties in half the time and half the cost
  • Conduct better, evidence-based risk assessments, to spot high-risk geographies or business units
  • Reduce investigations’ costs by having relevant financial data centrally organized and available
  • Enable your compliance teams to present risks in a timely, data-driven, fact-based manner.

Our Journey

We started with a unique knowledge base representing centuries of cumulative experience in modern payment examination methods. Then we built a permanent home for that knowledge in our platform, and imported it into models that are repeatable, customizable, and tailored to the unique context of each business that uses it.
