Developer’s Description

By Forensic-PC
Display graphs that allows you to exactly pinpoint fraudulent information.
"DataValid" is a free (for the moment!) application that exploits Benfords Law and displays datasets as a instantly recognisable set of graphs that allows you to pinpoint exactly where and why your datasets may contain fraudulent information.14 different graphs types may be rotated, split, zoomed around and viewed from almost any angle. Data can be sorted, filtered, edited, extracted, converted, searched, exported and printed."DataValid" can import data from a huge variety of sources.�?�¢�??�?�¢ It can import from standard text files such as XML, Dbase, CSV and Tab delimited, but you can also define your own delimiters and column widths and headers to import from Excel (all versions), DIF, Metafile, SYLK, SQL, PDF, XSL, PSR and HTML in ANSI or Unicode and UTF8�?�¢�??�?�¢ DataValid can connect to almost any database via native and ODBC drivers allowing you to directly query your data in a safe environment. Datavalid supports multiple cross database connections, so if you need to compare data from SQL Server against that on Sybase, Oracle, Access, Ingres, MySQL (and others) you can easily connect to them all concurrently and examine suspect data on-screen together�?�¢�??�?�¢ DataValid can import OCR information from faxes, scanned photocopies of any printed data and from encrypted binary information that would normally be unreadable by an applicationThe 'Excel' style presentation is intuitive and clicking on a column shows a quick 'summary' graph of Actual vs Expected to decide if deeper analysis may be warranted. There is also an "Automatic Data Analysis" option that examines every column of data in your file and picks out the ones that do not comply with Benfords Law, for you to analyze further.
