Course on

‘Computer, Information & Forensic Sciences in Investigation’

7th – 9th September, 2009

The NADT warmly welcomes the participants of the Course on ‘Computer, Information & Forensic
Sciences in Investigation’! We are happy about this opportunity to host this and are leaving nothing to
chance in ensuring that your stay and other arrangements made are rewarding and stimulating. Please
let us know by calling Extension No. 250 if anything is amiss or additionally required.

About the Course: Income Tax Departments are constantly faced with the spectre of computer,
operations systems, algorithms, programming code, and other tech-manifestations- savvy individuals,
syndicates and organizations using their talents in stage-managing market and accounts rackets of
varied kinds including accounting manipulations and/or deletions, gaming of markets, transfers of money
and non-monetary (intangible) assets, theft of trade secrets, theft of or destruction of intellectual
property, hacking, and fraud.

This Course aims at enhancing the quality of Investigation during and anterior to Assessment and during
and consequent to Searches through effective understanding and use of Computers and Computing
tools, Information Science and Forensics. Besides placing Tax Investigations in perspective against and
within Computer Systems, Networks, Information and Knowledge Management, topics discussed will
include Computer Forensics that is the application of computer investigation and analysis techniques in
the interests of determining and preserving potential legal evidence. Investigators today can draw on an
array of methods for discovering data that resides in a computer system, or recovering deleted,
encrypted, or damaged file information. Securing and analyzing such electronic evidence is a central
theme in an ever-increasing number of conflict judicial situations. The idea is to provide participants the
necessary skills to identify manipulators’/intruders’ footprints and to properly gather necessary evidence
to prosecute in a court of law. Knowing these will unleash considerable potential – amongst officers,
especially those of greater technical and investigative acumen, depth and speed, beneficial impacts in
lateral areas such as Assessments, Court/Tribunal hearings and processes, preventive surveillance and
intelligence-gathering and management of Departmental systems – and amongst the lay public, of
awareness and wariness of Departmental strengths and intent in the stated areas.

The Course is slated to occupy a timeframe of 3 days from 7th to 9th September, 2009 and will be
inaugurated by Shri Milap Jain, Director General of Income Tax (Inv.), New Delhi between 10.30 AM to
