Overview

There are many different reasons why you might consider conducting an internal investigation:

  • Specific issues have come to light, and you want to understand what happened, assess the damage, and get out in front of the problem so that it can be effectively managed.
  • You want to assess the controls you currently have in place and see what needs to be changed or improved.
  • You suspect fraud or other malfeasance and need to identify the source.
  • You want to ensure that you are in compliance with all governmental regulations and industry standards.

The key to a successful investigation is knowing where to look, what questions to ask, and how to get the answers you need.
