IBM is seeing an increase in fraud that is expected to continue. We anticipate greater focus on fraud as a potential compromise in closing budget gaps 1. Crime rings are increasingly turning to fraud Fraud is low risk and relatively easy to conduct Medical claims are path to revenue for fraudsters 2. Economic downturns lead to greater fraud and abuse Individuals and businesses seek new ways to make ends meet 3. Market conditions pressuring our public and private bottom line Need to find new sources of savings 4. Advances in analytics are make finding and preventing fraud both possible & economical We can now do what we previously couldn t Survey participants estimated that the typical organization loses 5% of its revenues to occupational fraud each year The median loss caused by the occupational fraud cases in our study was $140,000 20% of the cases were greater than 1M The frauds reported to us lasted a median of 18 months before being detected 7

Insurance story: Claim fraud detection at Santam Insurance in South Africa South Africa s largest short-term insurance company uses predictive analytics to uncover a major insurance fraud syndicate, save millions on fraudulent claims and resolve legitimate claims 70 times faster than before. Solution Business Opportunity Like most insurers around the world, Santam was losing millions of dollars paying out fraudulent claims every year. Expenses were being passed on to the customer in the form of higher premiums and longer waits to settle legitimate claims. To improve its bottom line and enhance customer satisfaction, the company needed to detect and stop insurance fraud early in the claims process. It also needed to find a way to isolate risky, fraudulent claims so that claims managers could more quickly process lower-risk claims. Gained the ability to spot fraud early with an advanced analytics solution that captures data from incoming claims, assesses each claim against identified risk factors and segments claims to five risk categories, separating higher-risk cases from low-risk claims. Plans to use propensity modeling to enhance and refine segmentation process as more data becomes available Results Identified a major fraud ring in less than 30 days after implementation. Saved more than $2.5M in payouts to fraudulent customers, and nearly $5M in total repudiations. Reduced claims processing time on low-risk claims by nearly 90%. Cut operating costs by reducing the number of mobile claims investigations.
