The Financial Fraud object
From the Fraud Risk Metrics endpoint, you can retrieve the fraud score and metrics for a business.
️ Data Dependencies
- Fraud Risk Metrics have a start and an end date. For a given timeframe, the fraud risk metrics are dependent on the financial statements that exist up to that startDate (inclusive). Missing dependencies may result in incomplete fraud metrics.
- Fraud Risk Metrics will not be available if dependencies are missing or if the service provider connected does not support the data types required. See supported data types for more details.
