In any project requiring forensic data analytics- be it an investigation, regulatory or compliance review, or expert witness assignment- one of the biggest challenges lies in accessing and analysing the relevant data in a timely manner. This issue is further compounded by the fact that the volume of data typically held by organisations grows at a rate of 40% per annum.  

Forensic Data Analytics (FDA) is a useful tool that can be implemented either proactively- in fraud prevention- or reactively when investigating any fraudulent activities that have already taken place.

FDA is increasingly deployed to assess, manage and mitigate the risks facing organisations and to identify potentially fraudulent instances which may have already occurred. Modern investigative techniques and analytics are utilised to inspect data in order to identify any anomalies or patterns that can pinpoint instances of fraud of poor internal controls.
