Fraud threats are evolving, compliance is becoming more
complex, and procurement and finance teams are under
pressure to reduce risk without slowing down business
operations.
Fraudsters are evolving, exploiting gaps in supplier
onboarding, invoice processing, and payment approvals.
Even the best fraud prevention and compliance tools are
only as good as the data behind them. Organizations
today need a wider range of supplier intelligence,
including internal insights, third-party risk data, and
custom lists tailored to their business needs.
Relish Data Assure integrates an automatic, human-free
validation check directly into the SAP environment. After
suppliers submit their information through the platform,
their address, TIN, bank account information, and any
sanctions list status are checked.
Mitigate fraud risk across the spend management
process with automated checks in the supplier
onboarding process to stop possible fraudsters at the
front door. Then re-check when suppliers change their
information and run periodic checks for risky suppliers.
Add in third-party integration (like EcoVadis and D&B),
proactive monitoring and coverage in over 110 countries
for full fraud protection.
In addition to reducing risk in our clients’ vendor
community, Data Assure has helped drive policy
change. Data Assure checks all existing vendors
against newly updated sanctions lists enabling
vendor managers to confirm their compliance
within seconds, a task that would previously
have been conducted manually.

Fraud threats are evolving, compliance is becoming more
complex, and procurement and finance teams are under
pressure to reduce risk without slowing down business
operations. SAP are looking to use smart validation,
automation, and proactive monitoring to stop fraud before
it happens, maintain compliance, and improve supplier
trust—all while keeping processes efficient.
• Supplier data inaccuracies and unvalidated information.
Supplier data with incorrect addresses, TINs, or mismatched
bank and routing details.
• State-mandated supplier data transparency was a manual
process to comply with audits.
• OFAC Sanctions checks checked manually and only as a
reaction to a triggering event. Due to the volume of the
suppliers, the lack of these validations increased the possibility
for fraud and risk.
• Supplier data was validated during the initial onboarding but
was not continuing to be checked over their lifecycle.
• Federal grants require assurance that vendors are checked
against Federal Debarment lists. If they fail to do so, the
grant is at risk. Data Assure validates against the required
lists, automatically.
