Forensic Data Analytics
Cutting edge data-oriented processes and tools to extract, understand and systematically analyze large quantities of data.

At every stage of your journey when overcoming complex data challenges, we have the experts and the tools to derive the critical insights which your data can provide. FRA’s expertise in data analytics, information technology, and data management is at the core of what we do. With the ever-growing volume of data to collect and analyze in investigations, litigation and compliance matters, we integrate data analytics across our services to provide clients with the real-time insights and transparency to identify an effective and quantitatively supported path to resolution.

How we can help
Network Analytics and Graph Databases
FRA’s technology and forensic experts leverage graph databases and network analytics techniques to analyze the connections between parties and uncover the direct and indirect relationships between individuals and companies that form criminal networks. This modern approach answers regulators’ demands for organizations to make better use of data analytics and AI.
Data Preservations and Collections
Our Data Analytics team is deeply experienced in performing defensible data preservation of structured data systems. Often mandated by regulators to satisfy legal duties, mitigate the risks of data inaccessibility and maintain business continuity which can be compromised due to rapid employee departures and system shutdown, especially following insolvency, heavy restructuring or liquidation events.
Risk-Based Data Review
Suspicious communications or transactions can be categorized by risk to efficiently target the most relevant information for review and additional investigation, in order to establish the underlying narrative to any irregularities or wrongdoing.
Asset Tracing and Flow of Fund Analyses
Misappropriated funds are often moved through many accounts and companies to obfuscate the final beneficiary. These funds may be intermingled with other assets and can involve many disparate sources of data. We use our accounting expertise combined with network analytics to construct data-driven hypotheses of what happened to the funds.
Extract Structured Data from Unstructured Data Sources
Our technology and forensic experts leverage industry standard tools, along with NoSQL software and bespoke solutions developed in-house, to automate the extraction and analysis of structured data from unstructured data sources such as PDF files and images.
Conceptual analytics and other complex analytical tools
We use innovative techniques such as clustering, concept searching and communication analysis to extract meaning and insights from unstructured data such as chat, audio, and video. In identifying frequency, patterns, networks and conceptual matches we provide unique insights for organizations and its legal counsel. Find out more about our innovative technologies here.
