In today’s dynamic business environment, the landscape of corporate governance is continually shaped by an increasing emphasis on transparency, compliance, and ethical conduct. One critical aspect that underscores these principles is the art of internal investigations. Internal investigations serve as a pivotal tool for organizations to meticulously examine and address potential misconduct, legal violations, or other irregularities within their operations. By conducting thorough and impartial inquiries, companies not only uphold their commitment to integrity but also mitigate legal risks, safeguard their reputation, and foster a culture of accountability.

  1. The Evolving Definition of “Cooperation” with Authorities
    • Internal investigations often seek to preserve the ability of the company to cooperate with authorities if wrongdoing is found.
    • A critical part of cooperation is demonstrating that relevant documents and data have been preserved.
    • Prompt and effective preservation of evidence can put the company in a position to evaluate potential wrongdoing and to develop findings for self-disclosure to the authorities.
  2. Corporate “Bring Your Own Device” Policies
    • Usage of personal devices for business communications, via texting and the use of third-party communication platforms has increased.
    • Federal agencies recognize this and expect effective compliance programs to permit the collection and analysis of data/documents generated on personal devices.
    • Informal BYOD policies can significantly increase the degree of difficulty – workplace privacy vs. U.S.S.G. Chapter 8 effective compliance and ethics programs.
    • Recent Example of Cooperation Credit for Preservation
  3. Conducting a Forensic Search for Relevant Documents and Data
    • Digital Forensics vs Self-Collections and Lexical Analysis
    • Early understanding of the entire IT Environment (On-prem servers, Cloud repositories, Comms Apps, Synching, Unsanctioned Apps and Devices, Backups, Disaster Recovery archives and other hidden data caches)
    • Litigation holds and preservation technologies and practices
    • Unsanctioned destruction of evidence / spoliation – beware of ephemeral data
    • Content vs Metadata
    • Think foundation and authentication as you go
    • OSINT
    • Combined analytics
  4. Conducting Interviews in the Post-COVID Years
    • Discussion of in-person versus virtual.
    • Using documents and meta-data in interviews.
  5. Remediation
    • Keep a punchlist as you go
    • Drives compliance gap analysis
