<p>Methods, systems, and computer program products for determining when to audit a transaction. An auditing rules optimizer system receives data relating to a transaction conducted by a first business entity that includes a travel product provided by a second business entity. The transaction may be classified as being a type of transaction, and the determination whether to audit the transaction based on the transaction type. The system may also determine expected values of blocking the transaction and/or taking an action to recover a discrepancy. The system may then determine which action to take based on the expected values. Auditing may be performed on transactions by travel agencies and on interline billing between validating and operating carriers. In each case, empirical data from earlier audit periods may be used to adjust parameters used to identify which transactions to audit, and for determining the expected values of the audit actions.</p> |
