The same project, funded twice, caught before payment
A subsidy authority that suspected some projects were being claimed under more than one program, but reviewed each application in isolation.
The situation
A subsidy authority running several aid schemes in parallel, each with its own case officers and its own queue. A beneficiary can legitimately apply to more than one, which also means the same project can be claimed twice.
Each application was assessed in isolation. Nothing compared an incoming application against applications already funded, so a beneficiary could present the same invoices to several schemes, and recovering paid funds cost more than the grant itself.
The rule Ceertia applies
Flag any beneficiary, address or invoice already funded under another application in the portfolio.
How it runs
The case arrives from whoever sends it, with the application forms, project descriptions, invoices, completion photos, beneficiary identity and cadastral references. Anything missing is flagged on receipt.
Each rule returns a verdict with its evidence: what Ceertia saw, where, and why it concluded. Every verdict is stored with its rule version, source excerpt and timestamp. Cross-scheme checking on receipt: beneficiary identity, site address and invoice references are compared across the whole portfolio and against official registries. A match is flagged with both application references cited as evidence.
Your team keeps the decision, on sourced evidence, with a full audit log.
