Anomaly Detection Platform

A PwC India Product
Anomaly Detection, Reconciliation and Transaction Monitoring are complex business challenges that are both time consuming & prone to errors. In addition, as patterns keep changing and business rules or supervised models become obsolete quickly, innovative solution approaches employing ML models are key to solving this predicament.
Anomaly Detection Platform is an AI-driven digital platform, which helps clients in detecting and preventing anomalies, reconciliation and continuous transaction monitoring including uncovering unknown patterns and risks using unsupervised ML methods.
Deployable on cloud or on-premise, the platform is industry agnostic and is equipped with a customizable data ingestor, powerful ML engine, NLG (Natural-language Generation), UI based BRE (Business Rules Engine) & persona-specific dashboards / workflows; and can be easily configured for multiple use-cases.
Challenges
- Data integration challenges due to multiple, siloed sources with different data types and data quality issues, leading to increase in complexity
- Manual checking not able to keep up with rising transaction volumes and makes only sample testing possible, leading to leakages of anomalies
- Turnaround time (TAT) breaches/closure in delays due to manual tracking and lack of audit trails and holistic visibility
- High full-time equivalent (FTE) involvement and costs due to manual processes with more time being spent on identifying anomalies and less on resolving them
- Anomaly patterns keep changing, making static business rules/supervised models obsolete in a short span of time
- Key anomalies not being tagged as validation done only on known risks/patterns with dated predefined rules
- Lack of flexibility in existing monitoring systems to keep pace with the increasing regulatory focus on governance and controls
- Increased compliance cost as audit observations lead to key stakeholder involvement for post-facto remediation
