Corporate investigations usually come out of the blue. Is your business prepared for a situation where a serious incident or fraud is being investigated? The decisions made in the aftermath of a serious incident and the management of these are always important, not only for the immediate issues surrounding the risk of your business but also in terms of the investigation as a whole. It is essential to be prepared for the possibility of an investigation. Having a policy in place to deal with situations could also save reputational damage.
