AFL’s consultants have acted for both the prosecution and the defence and have been appointed as the Court’s computer expert in civil cases in both England and Scotland. AFL’s consultants have also given evidence as a computer forensic expert witness in a number of criminal cases ranging from indecent assault to attempted murder.
The services provided by AFL are available to organisations which believes it may have been subject to fraud, or which wishes to improve its defences against fraud. All services are provided in the strictest confidence and AFL will never reveal that it has been approached or retained by a client, without prior written authority to do so.
AFL use forensic techniques that match or exceed the standard found in Police High Tech Crime units and comply with the Association of Chief Police Officers guidance for computer based evidence. AFL has invested heavily in technology in the last 2 years and has developed a number of automated techniques that substantially reduce the overall cost of examining digital evidence. These advanced techniques are particularly relevant to any organisation contemplating or involved in litigation.
AFL also provides training in computer forensic procedures to staff from High Tech Crime Units in both the private and the public sector. The training provided is approved by bodies such as the Law Society, ISACA and the ICAEW as meeting the standard necessary to qualify for CPD or CPE points.
