KPMG Forensic, the UK unit responsible for fraud investigation, has agreed to purchase e-disclosure and investigations software solutions from Aungate, a specialists real-time enterprise governance developer.

The software is widely used by law enforcement and other agencies around the world and will enable KPMG forensic to investigate and review any electronic evidence from virtually any file format and in virtually any language.

The software allows investigators to analyse other types of information such as recordings of telephone calls, voicemail or video recordings.

Sanjay Bhandari, head of e-disclosure at KPMG, said the software offered an alternative to ‘employing an army of paralegals’ and said such technology was the ‘future of document review’.

Aungate is a division of LSE-listed Autonomy Corporation.
