SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY VERIFYING TRANSACTIONS BASED ON ELECTRONIC DOCUMENTS

1 . A method for verifying a transaction based on an electronic document, comprising:

analyzing the electronic document to determine at least one transaction parameter of the transaction, wherein the electronic document includes at least partially unstructured data;

creating a template for the transaction, wherein the template is a structured dataset including the determined at least one transaction parameter;

determining, based on the created template, at least one data source;

obtaining, from the determined at least one data source, data evidencing the transaction; and

determining, based on the obtained evidencing data and the created template, whether the transaction is verified.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein determining whether the transaction is verified further comprises:

comparing data of the created template to corresponding evidencing data.

3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining at least one cause of a failure to verify, when it is determined that the transaction is not verified.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the obtained data includes metadata associated with a user device.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein analyzing the electronic document further comprises:

identifying, in the electronic document, at least one key field and at least one value;

creating, based on the electronic document, a dataset, wherein the created dataset includes the at least one key field and the at least one value; and

analyzing the created dataset, wherein the at least one transaction parameter is determined based on the analysis.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein identifying the at least one key field and the at least one value further comprises:

analyzing the electronic document to determine data in the electronic document; and

extracting, based on a predetermined list of key fields, at least a portion of the determined data, wherein the at least a portion of the determined data matches at least one key field of the predetermined list of key fields.

7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein analyzing the electronic document further comprises:

performing optical character recognition on the electronic document.

8 . The method of claim 6 , further comprising:

performing a cleaning process on the extracted at least a portion of the determined data.

9 . The method of claim 6 , further comprising:

checking if each piece of data of the extracted at least a portion of the determined data is completed; and

for each piece of data that is not completed, performing at least one of: querying at least one external source, and correlating the determine data with data of at least one previously analyzed electronic document.

10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the transaction is a least a financial transaction.

11 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the verification is performed during at least one of: value-added tax (VAT) reclaiming and VAT auditing.

12 . A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions for causing a processing circuitry to perform a process, the process comprising:

analyzing an electronic document to determine at least one transaction parameter of a transaction, wherein the electronic document includes at least partially unstructured data;

creating a template for the transaction, wherein the template is a structured dataset including the determined at least one transaction parameter;

determining, based on the created template, at least one data source;

obtaining, from the determined at least one data source, data evidencing the transaction; and

determining, based on the obtained evidencing data and the created template, whether the transaction is verified.

13 . A system for validating a transaction represented by an electronic document, comprising:

a processing circuitry; and

a memory, the memory containing instructions that, when executed by the processing circuitry, configure the system to:

analyze the electronic document to determine at least one transaction parameter of the transaction, wherein the electronic document includes at least partially unstructured data;

create a template for the transaction, wherein the template is a structured dataset including the determined at least one transaction parameter;

determine, based on the created template, at least one data source;

obtain, from the determined at least one data source, data evidencing the transaction; and

determine, based on the obtained evidencing data and the created template, whether the transaction is verified.

14 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the system is further configured to:

compare data of the created template to corresponding evidencing data.

15 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the system is further configured to:

determine at least one cause of a failure to verify, when it is determined that the transaction is not verified.

16 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the obtained data includes metadata associated with a user device.

17 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the system is further configured to:

identify, in the electronic document, at least one key field and at least one value;

create, based on the electronic document, a dataset, wherein the created dataset includes the at least one key field and the at least one value; and

analyze the created dataset, wherein the at least one transaction parameter is determined based on the analysis.

18 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the system is further configured to:

analyze the electronic document to determine data in the electronic document; and

extract, based on a predetermined list of key fields, at least a portion of the determined data, wherein the at least a portion of the determined data matches at least one key field of the predetermined list of key fields.

19 . The system of claim 18 , wherein the system is further configured to:

perform optical character recognition on the electronic document.

20 . The system of claim 18 , wherein the system is further configured to:

perform a cleaning process on the extracted at least a portion of the determined data.

21 . The system of claim 16 , wherein the system is further configured to:

check if each piece of data of the extracted at least a portion of the determined data is completed; and

for each piece of data that is not completed, perform at least one of: query at least one external source, and correlate the determine data with data of at least one previously analyzed electronic document.

22 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the transaction is a least a financial transaction.

23 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the verification is performed during at least one of: value-added tax (VAT) reclaiming and VAT auditing.
