Internal investigations
Businesses can take steps to manage the risk of investigations by regulators, possible sanctions and damaged reputation by having an internal investigation policy. These are some of the questions you should consider when preparing or reviewing such a policy:
- Does your business have an internal investigation policy?
- Does your policy address when an independent investigation is required?
- Does your policy include a communications plan?
- Is provision made for external reporting requirements?
- Does your policy flag where litigation or regulatory enquiries may evolve and how the investigation process may be adapted as a result?
- Do you know in what circumstances in-house counsel/external lawyer communications will be protected from disclosure in each jurisdiction in which you operate?
- How does your policy provide for conducting parallel investigations across several jurisdictions?
- How do you manage the creation and provision of reports to regulators and how do you address possible loss of privilege and the consequences of waiver?
