The method includes generating a plurality of an- omaly indicators for a transaction or proposed transaction between a first en- tity and a second entity based on an associated transactional data. A first primary indicator is then determined based on a combination of the plurality 102 of anomaly indicators, providing a collective indication of fraud. The primary indicator can next be further combined with a second primary indicator which can be based on transaction history involving the first and/or the second en- tity, thus generating an overall indicator to provide an indication of fraud. J-104 j - -206 x208 = generating a plurality of anomaly indicators for a transaction or proposed transadon between a first entity and a second entity in the procurement, each of the plurality of anomaly indicators generated based on a transactional data associated with the transaction or proposed transaction and provides an indication of the presence of a respective type of anomaly associated with the transaction or proposed transaction = — = = = = — = = determining a first primary indicator based on a combination of the plurality of anomaly indicators, the firs! primary indicator providing a collective indication of whether the transaction or proposed transaction is subject to fraud based on the types of anomalies being detected = = — generating a second primary indicator independent of the transactional data associated with the transaction or proposed transaction — = — Il Il Il M ,tD 1-1 II ..„....
