Spiralling benefit payments and shrinking budgets are forcing many governments to radically reform their benefit and compliance systems.

However, error, overpayments and fraud are driving up administrative costs. And introducing simpler, cheaper systems may leave governments just as susceptible to fraud.

Prevent fraud, reduce error

Reforms should use smart automation to help decision making, and enable benefits to be targeted at those people who need them most while at the same time identifying and preventing fraud. Such an approach requires a combination of skills, expertise and the best information technology tools, enabling departments to crack down on fraud and error and deliver consistent, affordable welfare that is fit for purpose in the twenty-first century.

Detica's Compliance Assurance Service, CAS, is a highly-innovative suite of business services providing incremental or replacement capacity to compliance and enforcement organisations in the public and private sectors. CAS, powered by Detica NetReveal®, has three main components, which are available as an integrated or 'pick and mix' suite of services – CAS risk, Detica Fraud Detection service and Detica Investigation and Enforcement Service.

What's even better is that it requires no capital investment. That really is more for less.
