Effective Investigation, Prosecution and Sanctions Course

When fraud or corruption has been detected much depends on what happens next. How should the suspicions be dealt with? By whom? Where is the evidence? How should it be gathered? How should the investigation be managed? Decisions made at the start of an investigation will prove critically important later and errors at this stage can frustrate any later prosecution. When the matter has been resolved and suspicions proven, what should happen to the perpetrators?

This workshop focuses on helping you to:

• Devise successful investigative strategies including deciding when and how to involve expert witnesses
