Briefly, one of the frustrations I have about the cases we didn't follow up on is that they are a rich source of criteria to apply to the screen up front. In other words, cases of suspected fraud that we didn't follow up on to understand the methodology or the pattern were intel that we couldn't put into the analytics system the Auditor General just said was quite good. We have definitely missed that opportunity.
That's an example of how analytics can work. We take any case of identified fraud that we find and follow up on, and we unpack it and then we put it in the front end so that all new visas going forward are screened against that fact pattern. If we find somebody trying to do the same thing.... Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice.... We're trying to stop the “fool me twice” cases.
