Fraud doesnāt always look suspicious, until you analyse the patterns.
I recently worked on a Vehicle Insurance Claim Fraud Analysis case study where the goal was simple:
š identify hidden risk signals and process gaps that allow fraudulent claims to slip through.
š The problem
Insurance teams deal with thousands of claims, but:
⢠Fraud is often buried inside normal-looking transactions
⢠Manual checks miss systemic weaknesses, not just bad actors
⢠High-risk signals are rarely quantified clearly
So I approached this as a real-world fraud analyst, not just a dashboard exercise.
š ļø What I did (end-to-end)
Using Excel analysis, I:
⢠Cleaned and structured claim-level data
⢠Defined fraud-focused KPIs, not vanity metrics
⢠Built an interactive dashboard with slicers to simulate decision-making
š Core KPIs tracked
⢠Fraud Rate (%)
⢠Total Fraud Cases
⢠Average Driver Risk Rating (Fraud)
⢠Police Report Gap (%) - fraud claims filed without police reports
šØ Key insights discovered
⢠Fraud concentration varied strongly by vehicle price band, not just volume
⢠Certain vehicle categories consistently showed higher fraud exposure
⢠An alarming 97%+ of fraudulent claims lacked police reports, highlighting a major verification gap
⢠Driver risk ratings provided early signals that could support preventive controls
These insights arenāt theoretical, they point directly to where insurers are leaking money.
š” Business impact (how this helps)
This type of analysis helps organisations:
⢠Flag high-risk claims earlier
⢠Strengthen fraud prevention rules
⢠Improve compliance and documentation checks
⢠Reduce payout losses without increasing manual workload
