I need to find an audit SW that will have as input some DB and will
find frauds by searching through the DB for different actions made in
the accounting books.The actions to be looked for will be defined by
the SW with as many ways of fraud that are known.

shaoul-ga,

Thanks for your question.

There are a wide variety of software product and data analysis
services available to assist the auditing process in the detection of
possible fraud.

The most widely used such application -- as determined by a survey of
auditors conducted by The Institute of Internal Auditors -- is known
as ACL:


http://www.acl.com/solutions/fraud_detection.aspx
"...Half of auditors worldwide favor ACL as the preferred software for
fraud detection and prevention, according to the most recent Institute
of Internal Auditors (IIA) software survey..."



Their actual software and data analysis products are described in more detail here:

In general, all accounting software can be said to be related to fraud
in one way or another, since one of the basic intents of accounting is
to keep the numbers the honest.  However, there are a fair number of
accounting-related products that specifically emphasize their role in
fraud-detection.

Why not look at ComplyXL from Lyquidity (www.lyquidity.com).  They are
releasing (beginning December), a spreadsheet based compliance tool
that allows version recording for compliance control, adding versions,
comparison of versions, comparison of workbooks, plus versions are
saved within a workbook.  This ensures that the figures can be
justified, and any changes can be tracked.  It also has a read only
facility, as well as differing permissions for various members of
staff.  The free trial version will be up on the site beginning
December.

Hope this helps.
