Abstract
The disclosed embodiments provide a system that determines a likelihood that a first entity and a second entity are the same entity. During operation, the system obtains financial data related to the first entity and obtains financial data related to the second entity. Next, the system determines the likelihood that the first entity and the second entity are the same entity based on the relationship between the financial data for the first entity and the financial data for the second entity. Then, the system alters a record related to the first entity or the second entity based on the likelihood.
