Eliminate invoice fraud and duplicate payments
Duplicate invoices and altered payment details are among the most common forms of accounts payable fraud. Hesper AI catches them automatically, at scale.
Invoice fraud in accounts payable
Invoice fraud takes many forms: altered bank account details on otherwise legitimate invoices, duplicate submissions with minor variations, and entirely fabricated invoices from shell vendors. AP teams process hundreds or thousands of invoices per month — manual spot-checking catches only a fraction. Hesper AI analyzes every invoice before it enters your approval queue.
Payment detail fraud
Bank account numbers and sort codes altered on legitimate invoices — payments diverted to fraudster accounts.
Duplicate invoices
The same invoice submitted multiple times with minor variations in date, amount, or invoice number to avoid detection.
Fabricated vendor invoices
Invoices from shell companies or non-existent vendors, often targeting companies with loose vendor onboarding controls.
How Hesper AI integrates with accounting software
Whether you're building an accounting platform or augmenting an existing AP workflow, Hesper AI adds invoice fraud detection via a single REST API call — no UI changes or database migrations.
Invoice received via email or upload
Invoice arrives in your system through your existing ingestion channel — email parsing, portal upload, or EDI.
Hesper AI analyzes before coding
Before the invoice is coded, categorized, or routed for approval, Hesper AI runs a fraud check and returns findings in under 80ms.
Flagged invoices held for review
Invoices with high fraud scores are placed in a review queue before payment is initiated. Your AP team sees the specific findings.
Clean invoices flow through normally
The vast majority of legitimate invoices continue through your normal approval and payment process with no added friction.
Protect your AP team without slowing them down
Hesper AI flags only what's genuinely suspicious — with a false positive rate below 0.1%. Your AP team reviews fewer invoices manually, and the ones they do review come with clear, actionable context.
