Research paper proposes hybrid ML approach for anomaly detection in financial audits

This research paper explores a hybrid approach to anomaly detection in general ledger data, combining traditional Journal Entry Tests (JETs) with machine learning (ML) methods. The goal is to improve the efficiency of financial audits by reducing false positives in anomaly detection results. The study investigates specialized models to enhance detection performance and validity, using synthetic data comprising normal and anomalous journal entries for experimentation. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more efficient financial audits by improving the accuracy of anomaly detection systems.

    Anomaly Detection in General Ledger Data: Results from a Hybrid Approach

    arXiv:2609.18228v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Journal Entry Tests (JETs) are a mandatory part of annual audits to evaluate and assess both highrisk audit areas and potential material misstatements. However, as JETs are designed to detect known patterns based on domain knowledge…
