In-depth Use Case / Real-world Example

Fraud Detection Rate is calculated by dividing the number of detected fraud instances by the total number of potential fraud cases identified. For example, if a company detects 15 instances of fraud out of 20 potential cases, the fraud detection rate is 75%. A high detection rate reflects robust internal controls, risk management, and vigilance against fraudulent activities. A low rate may signal weaknesses in fraud detection systems, which could lead to financial losses, reputational damage, or legal issues.
