Illustrative Scenario: Digital Forensics in Corporate Fraud Investigation

Suppose a company suspects fraud. Our digital forensics examiners would analyse mail stores, accounting logs and preserved copies of workstations, look for signs of unauthorised transactions, rebuild the timeline and prepare a written report for legal counsel.

Illustrative scenarios showing how we approach typical matters. They are not accounts of specific client cases.

The Challenge

A company suspects unauthorised internal transactions and altered audit records across its accounting systems.

Forensic Approach & Methodology

Examiners would make preserved copies of workstations and servers using hardware write-blocking. File carving and keyword searches can bring back deleted spreadsheets, where the data is still recoverable, as well as altered invoices and unusual user activity.

Outcome & Impact

What an examination could establish: A written report, with a cryptographic hash for each exhibit, setting out the timeline of user actions, file changes and transactions for legal proceedings or an internal review.
