Continuous Monitoring & Supply Chain Transparency
Case Summary
  • A global automative company was looking for a continuous monitoring program with automated audit capabilities to improve their supply chain transparency.
  • Focus on Vendor 360, procure-to-pay and Employee 360, travel and expense platforms.

Identified over $16 million in working capital improvements and cost recoveries, since 2022.

Identified over $800k in early payment discounts that were previously missed!

Challenge
A Fortune 500 automotive company with world-wide supply of systems and components was looking to improve its supply chain transparency into their procure-to-pay (Vendor) process. In addition, they wanted to automate certain continuous audit controls, with a specific focus on contract compliance, working capital improvement, and cost savings.
Solution
A monthly monitoring program was put in place using konaAI’s Vendor 360 and Employee 360 platforms. On a quarterly basis, the entire procure-to-pay module was processed out of SAP through a library of over 100 supply chain tests.
Working with the Chief Compliance Officer and General Counsel, konaAI’s Vendor 360 module was utilized in extracting and evaluating over $20 billion payments data with all the payments and supply chain data being subject to 100+ tests and behavioral algorithms.

Examples of some tests conducted:

  • Unit pricing variance analysis – to
    identify multiple pricing discrepancies across the same vendor on same product/material
  • Payment terms discrepancy – to
    identify inconsistent payment terms across vendors

Fraud Risk + Cost Recovery Algorithms around Vendors and Employees
Internal Audit Buyer as part
of their SOX Controls

Since 2022, the company has identified over $16 million in working capital improvements and cost recoveries
along with over $800k in early payment discounts that were previously missed.

konaAI’s internal audit and continuous monitoring helped identify several instances of fraud and abuse such as:

  • Same vendor being paid in less than ten days, when the payment terms were 60 days
  • Rogue T&E spend in Asia which led to several employees either being fired or reprimanded
  • Several out-of-policy violations which were quickly remediated
Over the years konaAI has supported multiple internal investigations and is now a part of the company’s effective fraud risk management.
