Internal Investigations
Training Seminars and Workshops

Our investigations training seminars and workshops are developed using techniques and best practices developed from over 25 years of conducting employee and internal investigations, both civil and criminal in nature.  The topics are designed to provide any private sector or internal investigator a practical framework to work within that creates a documentation trail and work flow documents.  This is a highly participative workshop style presentation that pulls from the participant's own investigative style, company procedures, and experience.

We like to work with small groups of 8-10 or less to maintain the workshop atmosphere.  We will also undertake individual training upon request to accommodate small companies or those who wish to utilize a "Train the Trainer" approach.  We provide 1 and 2 day workshops.  Our content can also be customized to meet a specific need.

Here are some of our workshop topics:

Methods/Threats Common schemes, methods, and detection.  We tailor our presentation to fit the Industry we are addressing.  Our topics can cover retail theft, vendor collusion, mail room theft, credit card fraud, bookkeeper fraud, narcotic diversion from healthcare facilities and retail pharmacies.
Investigation Process
Before Combating internal dishonesty but preparing for the eventual investigations.  What are defendable policies and procedures?  How are allegations handled?  How do you prevent supervisors from compromising your investigation?
During How to properly investigate to prepare for the interview process.  Investigations require patience, intuition, training and resources.  What is available to you?  What are the boundaries during an employee interview?  What is your strategy for interviewing? How do you take statements?  Polygraph...is it available still?
After Decisions that must be made but should already have precedent.  Terminate, prosecute, sue civilly, or all?  Is there a review process to understand how this occurred?  Is there accountability for process failures?  How do you manage the decision process when "everyone" has a different opinion?  We will guide you and your staff through those issues.
