Netherlands SyRI welfare fraud detection automation
SyRI (or 'System Risk Indication') is a risk classification system developed and operated by the Netherlands government to detect and predict social security, tax and employment fraud. Deployed by the Department of Social Affairs and Employment, the system used data about employment, fines, penalties, taxes, property, housing, education, retirement, debts, benefits, allowances, subsidies, permits and exemptions, amongst others, to determine whether a welfare claimant should be investigated.
