Proactive compliance investigations

Organizations can best defend against possible future sanctions by developing, and periodically auditing, their internal procedures. Programs and policies can often be left untouched for years leaving gaps and deficiencies. Municipalities can benefit from periodic reviews, or compliance investigations, even when no charge or violation has been brought against them. Solid, and tested, compliance programs are an essential and effective component of any defense against future criminal indictment, civil enforcement proceedings, or whistleblowing.

Internal Investigations in response to a charge or complaint

Local governments are under increasing pressure to self-report corporate wrongdoing. A competent investigation of the alleged misconduct can be the difference between a PR nightmare and successfully addressing and navigating the issue. Download “When is an investigation warranted? The decision-making process” brochure below.
