Evidentiary work that holds up in a boardroom, a regulatory filing, or a courtroom.
When fraud or a breach happens, the quality of the investigation determines what you can actually do about it. Our Forensic and Certified Fraud Examiners handle computer, mobile, and financial investigations to a standard built for scrutiny — not just internal reporting.
Evidence you can act on — legally and operationally.
An internal review that isn't conducted to evidentiary standard can't be used in a regulatory filing, a termination, or a prosecution — leaving organizations unable to act even when they know something is wrong.
Forensic and Certified Fraud Examiners lead every engagement, using portable forensic lab systems and documented chain-of-custody procedures across computer, mobile, and financial evidence.
A findings report that holds up wherever it needs to — in front of a board, a regulator, or a court — with the documentation trail to prove it.
Three specializations, one evidentiary standard.
Digital Forensics & Data Investigation
Portable lab forensic systems and high-speed processing for evidence acquisition and analysis following a security incident or internal dispute.

How an investigation actually runs.
Scoping & Engagement
Define the incident, the evidence sources involved, and the standard the findings need to meet.
Evidence Acquisition
Data acquired using forensic tools designed to preserve original evidence without alteration.
Chain of Custody
Every transfer and access point documented, so the evidence trail can be verified later.
Analysis & Findings
Technical analysis translated into a findings report a board, regulator, or court can act on.
Reporting & Support
Findings presented in the format the situation calls for — internal report, regulatory filing, or testimony support.
A representative engagement.
Client details are withheld to protect confidentiality, in line with standard practice for fraud and forensic engagements. The pattern below reflects the general shape of this type of investigation.
A regional financial institution suspected internal manipulation of transaction records but lacked evidence that would stand up to formal review.
CSA's Certified Fraud Examiners conducted a forensic review of financial and system records, preserving chain of custody throughout.
Findings were documented to a standard the client's board and internal audit function could act on directly.
Note: figures and identifying details are intentionally omitted rather than fabricated. Ask us directly for reference conversations where permitted by client confidentiality.
