[Verse 1] In nature's numbers there's a hidden law Frank Benford found what auditors now saw Thirty percent begin with digit one Eighteen with two, and then the pattern's done Seven gets ten, and nine just gets five This distribution keeps fraud detectors alive [Chorus] Benford's Law will show the way When fabricated numbers start to stray Thirty, eighteen, twelve, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four Real transactions follow this natural score Flag the deviations, find what's fake Benford's Law is all it takes [Verse 2] Fraudsters think five thousand sounds just right But real expenses rarely align so tight They pick the round numbers that feel natural Missing the randomness that's statistical When populations drift from expected curves That's when the red flag system serves [Chorus] Benford's Law will show the way When fabricated numbers start to stray Thirty, eighteen, twelve, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four Real transactions follow this natural score Flag the deviations, find what's fake Benford's Law is all it takes [Bridge] Run it on expenses and vendor bills Payroll data and reimbursement fills High volume datasets work the best Put leading digits to the test AP invoices tell their tale When Benford's distribution starts to fail [Verse 3] Load up the platform, run the analysis Flag populations with digit paralysis Too many fives and tens appearing Statistical anomalies are clearing The fabricated from the genuine flow Benford's mathematics starts to show [Chorus] Benford's Law will show the way When fabricated numbers start to stray Thirty, eighteen, twelve, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four Real transactions follow this natural score Flag the deviations, find what's fake Benford's Law is all it takes [Outro] From one to nine the pattern's clear Benford's Law keeps auditors near The truth that's hidden in the data stream Financial controls fulfill their dream
