A large publicly traded organization hired BKD for forensic accounting assistance with a multinational FCPA investigation. BKD’s team included experience with forensic accounting, data mining and computer forensics. Forensic accounting fieldwork took BKD professionals to such far-reaching destinations as Australia and Zambia. BKD also established and maintained real-time, complete and unrestricted access to the company’s general ledger system to support the investigation. Data mining procedures were modified to search for keywords in both English and French. Computer forensics imaged and forensically analyzed chat logs, email and documents found on nearly 50 devices, including mobile phones. BKD’s identification and recovery of Internet chat data was crucial to identifying involved personnel. BKD’s team completed the investigation and presented its findings before the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Department of Justice in Washington, D.C.
