Ownership
On September 2, 2020 Oversight was acquired by TCV,[5] with Luminate Capital Partners retaining a minority equity partnership.
Oversight Systems' software detects payments to suspicious vendors and alerts the proper authorities when insufficient people are involved in complicated business processes.[6] If a transaction, or associated entity, is in violation of a given policy an exception is generated and the workflow system transmits the exception via e-mail, the user interface and periodic reports – depending on the operational requirements.[7]
