Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

COVID-19 has dramatically increased the number of different fraud issues in the world. Fraud costs the global economy over USD 5 trillion as of 2019. There are many types of fraud: payroll fraud, asset misappropriation, invoice fraud, financial statement fraud, tax fraud, identity theft, insurance fraud, banking fraud, money fraud, digital exploitation, and fraud in organizations or (local) government. The goal of this Special Issue is to reduce local or global fraud and to strengthen the resilience of a society, organization, or private entity against fraud. The Special Issue is interested in any types of fraud detection or prevention technologies or applications. Articles in the Special Issue include original articles, review articles, tutorials, case studies, and software articles.

Acts of fraud have become much more prevalent in the financial industry with the rise of technology and the continued economic growth in modern society. Fraudsters are evolving their approaches continuously to exploit the vulnerabilities of the current prevention measures in place, many of whom are targeting the financial sector. To overcome and investigate financial frauds, this paper presents STALITA, which is an innovative platform for the analysis of bank transactions. STALITA enables graph-based data analysis using a powerful Neo4j graph database and the Cypher query language. Additionally, a diversity of other supporting tools, such as support for heterogeneous data sources, force-based graph visualisation, pivot tables, and time charts, enable in-depth investigation of the available data. In the Results section, we present the usability of the platform through real-world case scenarios. Full article
