16 Credits
ACFE Ethics CPE

Description

Investigations into employee wrongdoing can be costly, disruptive and time-consuming, leading to legal problems and other complications if they are not conducted with the utmost diligence and confidentiality. 

However, a well-run internal investigation can enhance a company’s overall well-being and help detect the source of lost funds, identify responsible parties and recover losses. It can also provide a defense to legal charges by terminated or disgruntled employees. But perhaps most important, an internal investigation will signal to other employees that the company will not tolerate fraud.

Conducting Internal Investigations will prepare you for every step of an internal investigation into potential fraud, from receiving the initial allegation to testifying as a witness. 

This course will discuss:

  • How to lead an internal investigation. 
  • Legal aspects of internal investigations. 
  • Collecting and analyzing internal and external information. 
  • Interviewing witnesses. 
  • Writing reports.
