Patent ID: 6959287

Claim:
A process for providing an audit with a transaction-based detail of errors in an environment with a high volume of transactions, comprising: designing a Random Sample Query to pull a random sample of transactions from a Transaction Database; running the Random Sample Query against the Transaction Database to find the random sample of transactions; copying the random sample of transactions from the Transaction Database to a Random Sample Database, via a distributed computer network; checking each transaction in the Random Sample Database to identify if the transaction has an error and to determine error parameters; discarding the transaction if there is not an error; copying the transaction from the Random Sample Database to an Error Database, via the distributed computer network, if there is an error; obtaining at least one parameter of a random sample transaction containing an error from the random sample of transactions stored in the Random Sample Database; obtaining Possible Error Transactions with at least one parameter identical to the at least one parameter of the random sample transaction containing the error; checking the Possible Error Transactions to identify actual errors; and preparing a report detailing the actual errors in the Possible Error Transactions.
