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

The paper explores a hybrid approach that combines traditional Journal Entry Tests (JETs) with machine learning techniques to enhance anomaly detection in general ledger data. It presents specialized models designed to improve the accuracy and validity of detected anomalies, thereby aiming to reduce false positives and increase audit efficiency. Experiments are conducted using synthetic data that includes both normal and anomalous journal entries.

SR-Fraud: An Outcome-Supervised Reflective LLM Agent Framework for Non-Stationary Payment Fraud Detection

SR‑Fraud is a framework that uses a frozen, stateless LLM agent to score transactions in real time while an offline reflection agent proposes boundary hypotheses based on matured errors. The system then verifies these hypotheses deterministically before updating its knowledge state. On a production payment‑fraud benchmark, SR‑Fraud outperforms both static and periodically retrained CatBoost models and successfully detects an emerging fraud burst.
