Business resilience could be defined as an organizational capacity to adapt to disruptions while maintaining continuous business operations and safeguarding human capital, assets and brand equity. The COVID-19 pandemic as a global risk and challenge has changed the terms of business operations on the global level. Therefore, business resilience should include recovering from disruptions and finding new strategies to enable continuous business operations in case of new adversities. Considering this, the importance of all the elements of business resilience for the modern functioning of organizations worldwide must not be neglected.

The digital transformation of society has developed new forms of payment, fund transfer and realization of financial transactions. Criminal groups use financial technologies to commit economic crimes, extort, launder money, and finance criminal activities. Investigations in the world of digitalization are becoming more and more complex. Thus, it is expected that digital financial forensics will necessarily be a new discipline in the forensic opus. The digital forensics community is increasingly growing and empowering investigations that use sophisticated tools from that domain.

The global crisis caused by the pandemic and political and social unrest represents an unexpected challenge faced by the management of modern companies. It has a significant impact on business results. The crisis represents a test of the resilience of every company.
