Synopsis:
Internal investigations are often the first line of defence when potential misconduct, fraud or regulatory breaches arise.
This course in the form of a fireside chat equips participants with practical insights into how organisations can effectively conduct investigations in-house, from gathering evidence to ensuring confidentiality and fairness in the process. It will highlight common pitfalls to avoid and best practices to ensure that internal reviews are both efficient and credible.
At the same time, participants will learn how to recognise situations where external reinforcements, such as forensic specialists, legal counsel, or regulatory advisors, may be necessary. The fireside chat explores the cost-benefit considerations of bringing in outside experts, balancing financial, reputational, and operational risks. By the end of the session, attendees will be able to make informed decisions on when to “dig deep” internally and when to escalate for independent support, ensuring investigations serve both governance and business objectives.
