Comment on Benford's law

Comments

In the United States, evidence based on Benford's Law has been admitted in criminal cases at the federal, state, and local levels.

This, to me, is the most interesting part of the article.

It's said that german finance authorities use it for revealing tax fraud.

It's a well-known tool in the arsenal of any forensic accountant.

Most large financial institutions use it, as well.
