Covert - Fraud Investigation

It was alleged that an accountant of a large corporate company had set up a bank account and was fraudulently moving funds from the company into their own account. The suspect had been alerted that they were under investigation and tried to delete information from their hard drive. The company employed CCL-Forensics Ltd to analyse the suspect’s work unit and produce a forensic report on the alleged fraud.

The report showed that the suspect had been putting transactions through to their own account and there were traces of such actions on the hard drive. The Police were informed, the company dismissed the employee and criminal proceedings commenced.
