ABSTRACT
Securities or stock fraud is a type of financial fraud involving securities or asset markets that can result in criminal charges and jail time. Detecting securities fraud from a large volume of electronic evidence without automation, statistical methods, and analytics can be a mammoth exercise for investigation teams due to the ever-increasing volumes of electronic data as case evidence. In this study, the authors propose a machine learning and neural network-based approach consisting of various analytical sub-approaches and automation that can assist financial forensic investigators, legal teams, paralegals, digital forensic investigators, and auditors in financial fraud case investigations such as “insider trading fraud” and “pump and dump fraud”. This comprehensive approach can help reduce investigation time, cost and rework when identifying internal trading fraud and pump and dump fraud indicators.
