ABSTRACT
Fraud detection technology should enable an organization to go beyond merely gate-keeping and increase the frequency and thoroughness of audit and reviews processes to determine whether fraudulent behavior is present. The value of the return on technology and process improvement investments is increased. Justifying fraud detection and reduction projects as stand-alone investments might be a hard sell in some organizations; after all, if an organization has not suffered from fraud in the past, it might be believed by executive management that it is unlikely that it will suffer from such exposure in the future. Barcode development began for use with retail store products and on rail-road freight cars. The barcode has become an indispensable technology in the retail and grocery supply chains and is achieving growing use in health care and other verticals. The customer hopes the supplier correctly picked, packed, and shipped based on the products and quantities on the purchase order.
