NaLaLys, a fraud risk detection and analysis tool released by our company in 2023, is a product that uses the latest AI technology to analyze massive amounts of data that previously could not be analyzed by hand, and detects signs of fraud and potential fraud.
In recent years, cases of fraud, such as collusion, price manipulation, cartels, and false quality claims, have come to light in a wide range of industries. As business models and markets have become more complex, the methods and content of corporate fraud have also become more complex, and in 2024, standards for the internal control reporting system were strengthened. However, as compliance systems become more layered and complex, a phenomenon known as “compliance fatigue” has occurred, and coupled with a fundamental lack of resources, many companies are facing challenges regarding how to address them.
NaLaLys uses AI that has learned training data based on actual fraudulent acts and unique logic created based on fraud investigation methods to analyze fraud risks in emails, chats, etc., and protects the work environment without requiring manpower or labor. To date, the system has been introduced at several major listed companies and has grown steadily.
The fraud detection and prevention market is expected to grow to 5.3 trillion yen by 2026, and demand for digital tools to improve the efficiency and sophistication of compliance-related processes is expected to continue to expand.
Going forward, we aim to become more than just a tool to improve business efficiency; we aim to become a “Compliance DX Platform” that protects companies and their employees by combining our advanced fraud investigation know-how with advanced IT technology. With this funding as an opportunity, we will expand our business scale through active investment in recruiting personnel and technology and organizational development, and continue our challenge to reduce the number of people involved in or caught up in fraud in the world, even if only a little.
