INVESTIGATIONS

Misconduct by employees, management or business partners can result not only in significant financial losses but also in serious legal and reputational risks.

Internal investigations serve to uncover illegal or unethical behaviour, compliance violations, and other irregularities within companies and public authorities. They help identify the responsible individuals and – where necessary – improve the relevant business processes.

WHISTLEBLOWING

A key tool for uncovering irregularities is an effective whistleblowing system. It enables early detection of risks and limits economic damage.

For a whistleblowing system to be effective, it must be independently integrated into the company’s organisation. Depending on the organisation’s needs, outsourcing the reporting office to an external, independent provider can increase credibility and acceptance.
