Conducting Internal Investigations

Basic
Description
Internal investigations can be tricky. Often, investigating employee wrongdoing can be costly, disruptive and time-consuming, with the potential to lead to legal problems and unexpected complications. However, it doesn’t have to be as difficult if it is conducted with the utmost care and confidentiality.
If an internal investigation is done right, it can enhance your company’s overall well-being and help detect the source of lost funds, identify responsible parties and recover losses. Equally important, internal investigations send a signal to other employees that your company will not tolerate fraud.
This seminar will examine a practical problem from beginning to end. It will review every step of an internal investigation into potential fraud, from receiving the initial allegation to testifying as a witness. You will take a deep dive into several parts of an internal investigation including legal aspects, using computers in an investigation, collecting and analyzing internal and external information, interviewing witnesses and writing reports.
