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

Results

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.

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.
