Graph-Based Financial Fraud Detection with Calibrated Risk Scoring and Structural Regularization

Yunfei Nie, Jiawei Wang, Ruobing Yan et al.

Financial transaction fraud prevention faces challenges such as complex relationship structures, concealed behavioral patterns, and dynamically changing data distribution. Discrimination models relying solely on independent sample features are insufficient to fully characterize the risks of group collaboration and chain transfers within transaction networks. This paper proposes a graph neural network representation learning and risk discrimination framework for financial transaction fraud prevention. It integrates transaction records and identity information into node attributes and constructs a transaction graph based on shared attributes and interaction consistency to explicitly model inter-transaction relationships. In model design, a multi-layer message passing mechanism is employed to aggregate neighborhood information, learn node embedding representations containing structural context semantics, and output transaction-level fraud probability and risk scores through a lightweight risk discrimination head. A weighted supervision objective is introduced to mitigate training bias caused by class imbalance, and structural consistency regularization constraints are combined to suppress the impact of noisy edges on representation drift, thereby improving the stability and usability of risk characterization. Experiments are conducted on a publicly available financial transaction dataset, comparing various methods in the same direction and comprehensively evaluating them under a unified evaluation protocol. The results show that the proposed method outperforms other methods in risk ranking and probability calibration quality, validating the effectiveness of graph structure modeling and representation learning collaboration in financial transaction fraud prevention.

Unsupervised Graph Modeling for Anomaly Detection in Accounting Subject Relationships

Yuhan Wang, Ruobing Yan, Zhe Su et al.

This paper addresses the problem of anomaly detection in accounting subject association structures, proposing a structured modeling and unsupervised discriminant framework based on graph neural networks. This framework is used to mine stable correspondences between subjects and identify structural deviations from general ledger details and voucher entries. The method first abstracts accounting subjects as graph nodes, and the co-occurrence and debit/credit correspondence of subjects in the same business record are abstracted as weighted edges. The edge weights are characterized by statistical measures such as co-occurrence frequency or amount aggregation, thus forming a period-level accounting subject association graph. In the representation learning stage, a message passing mechanism is used to fuse the node's own attributes and neighborhood context to obtain node embeddings containing structural information. In the anomaly detection stage, the rationality of subject pair connections is estimated through a relation reconstruction decoder, and edge-level anomaly scores are defined based on the degree of deviation in reconstruction probabilities. These scores are then aggregated to obtain node-level risk ranking and local anomaly localization. This framework can simultaneously capture local substructure anomalies and cross-community anomaly connections without relying on anomaly labeling, outputting traceable subject pair risk clues. Comparative experiments demonstrate more stable comprehensive discriminant capabilities and higher top-ranking accuracy.
