Overview (Program Summary)
A program hosted by:
ACC AustraliaDealing with suspicions or allegations of fraud, corruption or staff misconduct at your workplace is a daunting task. If not dealt with quickly and appropriately, it could have serious financial and reputational risks for your organisation, yet faced with current COVID-19 restrictions with many of us working remotely, how can you still efficiently manage a workplace investigation away from the office?
Following on from FTI Consulting’s misconduct investigation workshops in 2019, this webinar will looks at the practicalities of running an investigation remotely. From identifying and collecting evidence (including data collections), to remote hosting and analysis of evidence, to conducting witness and person-of-interest interviews. FTI Consulting will take you through the various stages of running a remote investigation.
The workshop will cover the following:
- Introduction to investigation theory
- Initial response to an allegation
- Undertaking the investigation – all from afar
By the end of the workshop, you will be able to:
- Appraise remote investigation techniques, and consider their practical application within a given investigation
- Identify and assess alternative methods for remote evidence collection
- Assess the viability and suitability of remote interview techniques
- Identify situations where external specialist support is required to overcome social distancing restrictions
Who should attend?
Organisations, irrespective of size, location or industry are at risk of fraud, corruption or staff misconduct and this workshop is designed for anyone who may become involved in responding to these allegations.
Spaces are limited
We are limiting numbers for this workshop to enable more tailored sessions and individual attention from the facilitator, please come camera ready as we are encouraging greater group participation.
