Forensic Technology Solutions

With more than 90% of business records globally created and stored electronically, the forensic acquisition and analysis of electronic data has become a fundamental process in virtually all corporate enquiries.

Having the most cutting-edge tools and technology, our Forensic Technology Solutions (FTS) team, which is part of the Forensic team, offers a highly professional approach to electronic data retrieval. Our forensic tools have been utilized in numerous corporate reviews requiring electronic disclosure and advanced financial data analytics. We have worked together with investigators or lawyers on projects involving:
 

• Corporate investigations (including whistle-blowing, suspicion of fraud, etc)
• Regulatory orders and regulatory investigations (including Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) investigations)
• Dispute analysis and litigation support
• Electronic data preservation

• Acquiring images of hard drives and digital media (e.g. DVD, USB drives, memory cards from mobile devices such as mobile telephones, blackberries, SIM cards and the devices themselves), collecting email and other electronic documents (including recovering the deleted ones) in order to prepare the electronic evidence for further analysis and to present the forensically acquired material (meaning using non-invasive methods) for potential court case.

• This process consists of comprehensive acquisition of collection of electronic data from all available sources such as electronic media (e.g. hard drives, etc.), electronic mail files, including scanned and electronically recognized paper documents (using OCR tools). Furthermore the process enables the investigative team to quickly and efficiently search through documents, emails and their attachments using keywords, without opening and reading each email file as well as determining which documents are responsive to a disclosure or a regulator’s order and making those documents available for Clients or lawyers to review online

• Sifting through vast volumes of transactions in financial or ERP systems (such as SAP, Oracle Financials, Microsoft Dynamics, Symfonia) and performing sophisticated data analytics to look for suspicious fraudulent transactions, disclosing unclear data entries, data anomalies or control weaknesses

• We gather information from various sources, including publicly available records, paid information portals and internal company information. It helps us to quickly understand complex scenarios and volumes of seemingly unrelated data, to identify potential cases of conflict of interest, unusual or unexpected relationships between business entities and individuals. In the end with the use of specialized software we are able to communicate the results in easy-to understand visual representations
