TROY - Feb. 22, 2010) – In business and in legal matters information is a strategic asset.  Now more than ever, information is created, stored, and distributed electronically.

That has led to a newly created group of collaborative experts who together can help clients uncover and protect important corporate and personal electronic evidence. These experts comprise Michigan-based Forensic3, which works with clients to handle all aspects of accounting and computer forensics.

Forensic3 combines the expertise and knowledge of forensic accountants, computer forensic experts and investigative professionals from a collaboration of three leading professional service firms. Comprised of industry experts who also are partners with such respected firms as Doeren Mayhew in Troy, and Rochester-based Techmotives Consulting Group and Risk Security & Investigations, Forensic3 provides clients with a cohesive team of resources that work together to create a whole that is greater than the sum of the parts.

Most importantly, Forensic3 gives clients a unique value – the power of knowing.

The State of Michigan recently modified the Professional Investigator (PI) Licensure Act to include language specifically referencing computer forensics.  It now clearly states that a PI license is required to conduct investigations involving electronic evidence. Forensic3 meets the requirements of this act.

“What sets us apart is that we can uncover all types of information to help support clients needs, which often can be part of a litigation matter or other forensic investigation,” said Forensic3 Director Bruce Knapp. He runs the forensic accounting and business valuation division and is a director with Doeren Mayhew.

“Our holistic approach allows us to obtain relevant data and information from various sources and determine whether that information is reliable, putting you in the strongest position possible,” Knapp said.

With decades of combined experience in their fields, Forensic3 professionals are experts in handling evidence and reporting findings. They work closely with lawyers and their clients to uncover information that can be used to support specific goals. And they handle information derived from each case with the highest level of confidentiality.

“In order for electronic evidence to stand up to a challenge in court, it must be collected, preserved, and analyzed properly,” said Director Jim Carter, who runs the computer forensics division of Forensic3 and is the president of Techmotives Consulting Group.

“We work with clients to develop and execute a sound strategy for getting the most value out of electronic evidence,” he added.

The professionals who comprise Forensic3 delve far beyond the financial data by also providing insight that helps to make sense of available digital information. This level of insight gives clients added information, which in turn leads to more effective management of corporate strategy.

Indeed it is this “power of knowing” that sets Forensic3 apart said Director Mark Ford, who manages the investigative services division of Forensic3. Ford also serves as president of Risk Security & Investigations.

“Each of our three divisions provides clients with a high level of strategic consultation, industry knowledge and technical know-how,” Ford said. “We keep up with what is relevant in the industry and all of our techniques and methodologies are considered best-of-breed.

“What is of specific note for lawyers is that evidence collected by a computer forensics agency or professional that is not licensed may be subject to a legal exclusion should it be tested in court,” Ford said.

Forensic3 professionals collectively have numerous certifications in such specialties as forensic and public accounting, business valuation, computer forensics and professional investigations.

Today’s evidence is generated from financial data, digital information and personal surveillance. Forensic3 covers each of these areas thoroughly, providing clients with a stronger legal and business position that is backed up by solid evidence.
