Public Sector Case Study - Procurement Fraud - Covert Computer Analysis
The following is an anonymised case study based on a real assignment conducted by CCL-Forensics for a Public Sector Body
It was alleged that an employee in a Local Authority's finance department had set up a bank account and was fraudulently moving funds from the Authority into this account.
Anomalies were noticed and following advice from the Police, the Authority called in CCL-Forensics Ltd to investigate. After a covert operation to image (produce a forensic copy of all of the data on the media) the computer of the suspected employee, the copy was transported back to CCL-Forensics’ laboratory for analysis.
After an initial investigation, CCL analysts found evidence of funds moving to the suspect’s account. The analysts were able to provide evidence that the alleged suspect was not only moving funds from the Authority, but also from a number of other companies with which it had an association. The Police were informed and the employee was suspended pending further investigation.
