Abstract

The problem that arises in this work is related to corruption and fraud, a contingent issue throughout the world and apparently insoluble. But just as it is a problem, it is also an opportunity for societies to face it and begin to lower the levels of corruption and fraud in their institutions. Few initiatives, both methodological and automated to monitor corruption / fraud risks, exist, so that this proposal offers an approach from analysis, methodologies and engineering, both business processes and abstract models, as well as technology as a tool capable of analyzing information, identifying contradictory acts and combating unproved behavior. The state of the art of technology allows facing the problem, where the main protagonist can be citizens and other agents interested in scrutinizing institutional behavior. In this way, the average public will have the feeling that things can change and that agents whose behavior has been contradictory, can be identified, sanctioned and begin to trust their institutions
