A Course In Forensic Accounting, Yelena Kleyman
A Course In Forensic Accounting, Yelena Kleyman
Honors College Theses
The origins of the accounting profession are rooted deep into history. The basic concepts of accounting were changing as years and centuries passed by. Nonetheless, a concept exists which did not experience major modifications over time -- fraud. Fraud existed centuries ago, as well as it exists today, and unfortunately, may exist years from now. However, in recent years forensic accounting has been expanding in order to change this pattern. This discipline created a new branch in the accounting profession, generating a growing demand for forensic accountants. Forensic accounting is currently taught in many American universities; however, Pace University is …
A Study Of The Molecular Basis Of Microvariants At The Fga And D21s11 Loci Used In Forensic Dna Testing, Molly Mcbeth
A Study Of The Molecular Basis Of Microvariants At The Fga And D21s11 Loci Used In Forensic Dna Testing, Molly Mcbeth
Honors Scholar Theses
Microvariant alleles, defined as alleles that contain an incomplete repeat unit, often complicate the process of DNA analysis. Understanding the molecular basis of microvariants would help to catalogue results and improve upon the analytical process involved in DNA testing. The first step is to determine the sequence/cause of a microvariant. This was done by sequencing samples that were determined to have a microvariant at the FGA or D21S11 loci. The results indicate that a .2 microvariant at the D21S11 locus is caused by a -TA- dinucleotide partial repeat before the last full TCTA repeat. The .2 microvariant at the FGA …
Structural Analysis Of The Log Files Of The Icq Client Version 2003b, Kim Morfitt
Structural Analysis Of The Log Files Of The Icq Client Version 2003b, Kim Morfitt
Australian Digital Forensics Conference
Instant messenger programs can generate log files of user interactions which are of interest to forensic investigators. Some of the log files are in formats that are difficult for investigators to extract useful and accurate information from. The official ICQ client is one such program. Users log files are stored in a binary format that is difficult to understand and often changes with different client versions. Previous research has been performed that documents the format of the log files, however this research only covers earlier versions of the client. This paper explores the 2003b version of the ICQ client. It …
Forensic Analysis Of The Contents Of Nokia Mobile Phones, B. Williamson, P. Apeldoorn, B. Cheam, M. Mcdonald
Forensic Analysis Of The Contents Of Nokia Mobile Phones, B. Williamson, P. Apeldoorn, B. Cheam, M. Mcdonald
Australian Digital Forensics Conference
Acquiring information from a mobile phone is now an important issue in many criminal investigations. Mobile phones can contain large amounts of information which can be of use in an investigation. These include typical mobile device data including SMS, phone records and calendar and diary entries. As the difference between a PDA and a mobile phone is now blurred, the data that can reside on a mobile phone is somewhat endless. This report focuses on the performance of different mobile phone forensic software devices, and reports the findings. All aspects of the different software pieces will be reported, as well …
A Forensic Log File Extraction Tool For Icq Instant Messaging Clients, Kim Morfitt, Craig Valli
A Forensic Log File Extraction Tool For Icq Instant Messaging Clients, Kim Morfitt, Craig Valli
Research outputs pre 2011
Instant messenger programs such as ICQ are often used by hackers and criminals for illicit purposes and consequently the log files from such programs are of interest in a forensic investigation. This paper outlines research that has resulted in the development of a tool for the extraction of ICQ log file entries. Detailed reconstruction of data from log files was achieved with a number of different ICQ software. There are several limitations with the current design including timestamp information not adjusted for the time zone, data could be altered, and conversations must be manually reconstructed. Future research will aim to …
