Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When the same vendor sends the same amount twice
Within ninety days, that's not rolling dice
Duplicate invoices trigger our first alert
Round numbers over five hundred make us more alert
If it ends in zeros, question what you see
These deterministic rules protect our company

[Chorus]
Rule-based alerts, they're black and white
Either they trigger or they don't tonight
Tier one controls watching every flow
Ten simple rules that we need to know
Duplicate, round, new vendor too
Address matching, routing changes new
Rule-based alerts keeping fraud at bay
Deterministic guards work night and day

[Verse 2]
New vendor payments when they're under thirty days
Vendor addresses matching employee ways
When routing numbers change without approval clear
Bank account switches should ring alarm bells here

[Chorus]
Rule-based alerts, they're black and white
Either they trigger or they don't tonight
Tier one controls watching every flow
Ten simple rules that we need to know
Duplicate, round, new vendor too
Address matching, routing changes new
Rule-based alerts keeping fraud at bay
Deterministic guards work night and day

[Verse 3]
Off-cycle payroll running out of time
After-hours journal entries past the nine
Ten PM to six AM raises red flags high
Closed period changes make the systems cry

[Bridge]
Reconciliation overrides
Check sequence gaps we cannot hide
Manual changes to auto-matched
These rules ensure that fraud gets caught

[Chorus]
Rule-based alerts, they're black and white
Either they trigger or they don't tonight
Tier one controls watching every flow
Ten simple rules that we need to know
Duplicate, round, new vendor too
Address matching, routing changes new
Rule-based alerts keeping fraud at bay
Deterministic guards work night and day

[Outro]
Ten rules standing guard so true
Financial controls protecting you
Either triggered or they're not
Rule-based systems hit the spot
