APEX Analytix� Launches New Service to Prevent Costly Payroll Fraud

The company's new “Payroll Analysis Service” detects falsified timesheets, inflated salaries, fictitious employees -- and more.

Greensboro, NC (PRWEB) May 10, 2010 -- Today APEX Analytix® is launching a new service to help companies detect and prevent costly payroll fraud – including falsified timesheets, inflated salaries and even fictitious employees receiving a paycheck.

APEX Analytix® is a global leader in software and services to safeguard disbursements, reduce risks and improve performance across the procure-to-pay cycle. The company’s new Payroll Analysis Service combines the expert analysis of certified fraud examiners with the sophisticated detection capabilities of complex software algorithms.

“Payroll scams are a costly problem that can be exacerbated by plant closures, staff reductions and turnover,” says Steve Yurko, CEO of APEX Analytix®. “Experience shows fraud often soars during tough economic times when companies can least afford the loss. That makes effective detection and prevention a must.”

According to recent research by the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, U.S. organizations lost an estimated 7 percent of their annual revenues to fraud in 2008 alone, representing a staggering $994 billion of the U.S. Gross Domestic Product.

To help companies combat the problem and target payroll scams, APEX Analytix® assesses payroll data and personnel files against dozens of potential fraud scenarios. Risks are rank-ordered for investigation and an actionable mitigation plan is recommended to prevent both current and future losses.

The new Payroll Analysis Service builds on a growing portfolio of APEX Analytix® products and services designed to help companies detect fraud and protect hard-earned profits. Among them are:

FirstStrike® Fraud Detect, a software solution that uses continuous monitoring to uncover and prevent fraud in accounts payable. Vendor Risk Analysis, a software and services solution that detects potentially fraudulent vendors and identifies high-risk transactions.

“Fraud is a costly problem that can impact a company’s profitability and damage its reputation among clients and shareholders,” says Ed Arnold, compliance coordinator and director of risk management for APEX Analytix®. “With the introduction of our new Payroll Analysis Service, companies have an effective solution for surfacing problems and stopping fraud in its tracks.”
