Planning and Conducting Investigations
Regardless of whether you are an employee, manager, ‘C-suite’ executive, public prosecutor, investigator or a parent, if you are involved or party to an investigation, you must understand its key objective. What is the reason behind it?
This is because every investigation is different and requires different approaches, utilising a variety of resources, human or other.
For complete understanding, the Key Objective is a part of the solution. For the solution to be reached, we must have an ‘issue’ that is referred to as the incident or accident (e.g., an illegal or suspicious act against a corporation, fraudulent activity, theft).
Without a clear Key Objective, no investigation can be successfully completed. To understand what the objective is, the investigator must satisfy several conditions before establishing a clear concise definition of the Key Objective.
Training Course Planning and Conducting Investigations consist from following topics:
- What is the investigation (legal and law obligations, type of investigations, approvals, who can investigate and when, difference between internal and external investigation)
