interesting question. here's a thought, lets assume you can obtain the
originial invoice number that caused the incoming cash payment. run your benford
on the entire cash collection population, for the items that fall out of the
normal sequence, compare the cash payment to the amount owed on the original
invoice. perhaps the perpetrator obtained the cash and resubmitted a lesser
amount. if this was the case, however, i image the customer would complain.
good luck !!
