Topic – Digital Forensics for the Fraud Professional

In your career, have you ever been faced with the loss of electronically stored information; ESI?  The statistics are familiar: 93% of new corporate data is electronic and 70% will never be printed.  The implications are enough to make even the most hardened discovery veteran shudder.  However, this is only part of the story.  Truly important data – perhaps the smoking gun that makes or saves a case – may exist entirely outside this large volume of active data. This class will teach you the basics of computer forensics as they relate to electronically stored information (“ESI”) along with the ethical considerations you, as a fraud examination professional, may have when dealing with electronically stored information.  It is crucially important that all CFE’s keep up with this rapidly changing landscape.  Are you ready?
