Selected Case Studies/Notable Matters

• Forensically imaged and analyzed the accounting server of a company engaged in a massive fraud.  The company’s IT department had conspired to replace the server with a “dummy” containing only limited records – excluding various critical sub-ledgers and other accounting records.  We were able to detect the tampering.  The fraudsters renamed the original server and installed it elsewhere in their network – physically locating it in a neighboring related party’s facility.  We were able to extract several thousand deleted files from the dummy server.  These contained Excel files that revealed how the company had manipulated its financial records.  The files also provided network tags that helped us locate the original accounting server.  When we obtained unfettered access to the various premises, we were able to quickly locate the original server, recover the general ledger that had by that time been erased, and recreate the true financial position of the company.
