After a natural disaster, government leaders need to focus on a quick and effective recovery that includes disbursement of FEMA* public assistance funds in compliance with the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) as well as balancing fraud, waste, and abuse. Yet complex regulatory requirements and challenging vendor payment processes often mean volumes of unstructured data and unorganized documents leading to overworked staff, overstretched budgets, and delayed payments. But what if there were a way to streamline those tasks and reduce the manual effort by up to 75%?

KPMG offers its intelligent automation for crisis planning, a proprietary solution that leverages AI and automation to make validation procedures faster, easier, more accurate, and less expensive. The solution uses a simple clear methodology. Here’s how it works.

Scanned documents are converted into text and automatically classified. Key data points are extracted and saved in a structured table, so users can work with the data to ensure that it’s complete. Once all the information has been validated against the CFR (The Code of Federal Regulations), reconciliation checks are automatically performed to confirm which claims are ready for payment. And powerful AI helps guide and expedite human review, identifying potential documentation errors, instances of fraud, and double charges. Analysts quickly review the test results to identify potential issues requiring further investigation and confirm payments that can be released. The result – the highly manual process of data extraction is reduced from months to days and can be easily scaled.

One of KPMG’s clients reported that data extraction went from one full month using a manual approach to only 27 hours with this solution. KPMG intelligent automation for crisis planning can be run as a service by KPMG or deployed as a custom low-code application for your employees. Thanks to powerful AI, data sources are digitized, classified, and integrated into one system so users can drill down and unlock powerful new insights to make strategic decisions with confidence and clarity. Advantages are clear, – reduced time needed to validate and formulate FEMA projects allowing for faster payments. Automatic testing of over 25 data points to improve the accuracy of validation procedures and reinforce FEMA compliance and a full audit trail of all activities simplifying downstream reviews. The most time-consuming aspects of recovery and regulatory compliance around both debris removal and monitoring are automated potentially speeding up your reimbursement timeline by months and saving up to 75% of your current costs so you can clear away the most draining tasks and focus on building back faster and stronger.
