Investigations are conducted for a variety of reasons. These range from urgent enquiries prompted by a business crisis, to business reviews for specific parts of the business or jurisdictions in which the business operates. There are a range of steps that organisations can take at the outset which will have a significant impact on the likely success of any investigations, large or small.

The Panel will consider the complex issues that arise when defining the scope and purpose of any internal investigation. They will also share best practices in internal and external communications, to preserve confidentiality and privilege and for reputation management.
