Automatic Fraud Red Flag Escalation

Every hour, WebRun checks the matter's CaseWare IDEA project for any red flag that crosses a high-severity threshold, combining signals like repeated duplicate payments, a sharp Benford's Law deviation, or a cluster of round-dollar disbursements to one payee, pings you on Telegram right away, and drafts an escalation memo in Gmail that stays unsent until a partner reviews it.

In short

How do I get an immediate alert when forensic accounting analysis flags a serious fraud red flag?

Every hour, WebRun checks the matter's CaseWare IDEA project for any red flag that crosses a high-severity threshold, combining signals like duplicate payments and Benford's Law deviations into a single score. It pings you on Telegram the moment one crosses the line and drafts an escalation memo in Gmail that stays unsent until the engagement partner reviews it.

  • A high-severity red flag reaches a partner within the hour, not the next morning
  • Nothing about a fraud suspicion ever reaches a client or outside party automatically
  • Multiple weak signals get combined into one score instead of separate, easy-to-ignore alerts

Questions, answered

Does it notify the client or anyone outside the firm?

No. WebRun only pings you on Telegram and drafts an unsent memo in Gmail for the engagement partner. A fraud red flag never reaches a client or any outside party automatically.

What makes a red flag high-severity?

It combines multiple signals on the same account or transaction, such as duplicate payments alongside a sharp Benford's Law deviation, and scores it against the threshold you set. A single minor anomaly does not trigger an hourly alert.

Why check every hour instead of once a day?

A high-severity fraud signal can mean an active, ongoing issue. Hourly checks mean a partner hears about it within the hour it is detected, not the next morning.
