DTect does not rely solely on traditional sampling techniques but enables comprehensive testing of multiple aspects of financial transactions, Deloitte says. Anomalies and trends are identified through a unique scoring methodology, used to focus efforts on the highest risk transactions and entities. Deloitte investigators then work with their clients to explain and interpret results, to investigate and resolve anomalies, and to identify potential incidents of fraud.

Forensic & Dispute Services is a service offering within Deloitte & Touche that uses DTect as part of its arsenal of fraud investigation technology. DTect is deployed at the request of clients who have retained Deloitte on a proactive basis, or for a investigation engagement. During the course of an audit, Deloitte might discover fraud and suggest that its client take specific actions to address the potential issue; DTect can then be deployed to assist in that process.
