With more than 95% of business records globally now created and stored electronically, the forensic seizure and analysis of electronic data has become a fundamental process in virtually all corporate enquiries and dispute resolutions.
Our forensic technology specialists are trained in the forensic acquisition and analysis of electronic data. We conduct the seizure and capture of digital data in a forensically sound manner. The processes and software tools we use are specialised for this purpose, and consistent with those utilised by international law enforcement agencies and accepted by the courts in most countries.
Using our globally developed proprietary tools, commercial tools and dedicated forensic laboratories worldwide, our team is experienced in handling and processing enormous volumes of e-mail, electronic user files and financial transaction data typically stored by large corporations.
We use a number of data acquisition and electronic discovery to analyse and de-duplicate electronic data such as email and user files. These can then be searched and categorised depending on the needs of the reviewer.
We have also developed a number of data mining tools to analyse the financial data held by clients. These tools utilise the accounting data held by client applications and can be used to search for particular transactions and journal entries. They are typically used to identify suspicious transactions, trends and inconsistencies in support of a company's internal review.
