Case Study: MTN Nigeria recovers US$60 million in one year with ACL Data Analysis

MTN Nigeria Recovers US$60 Million Just One Year after Deploying ACL Data Analysis

MTN Nigeria, part of the MTN Group and a leading telecom operator in Africa, faced tight profit margins, stiff competition and uneven data coverage across key risk areas. With a limited staff budget, the Revenue Assurance team struggled to detect and prevent revenue leakages using random sampling and manual processes.

By deploying the ACL Data Analysis solution in 28 days, MTN implemented continuous, automated monitoring across core network, billing and prepaid systems, giving near‑100% visibility of subscriber transactions (prepaid accounts represent over 90% of revenue). The result was faster detection and reconciliation, streamlined audit workflows and the recovery of more than US$60 million in potential revenue leakages within one year, all while maintaining low personnel costs and improving revenue assurance confidence.
