Internal investigations are under scrutiny by courts, interviewees, unions, corporate politics, business partners, auditors, enforcement authorities and regulators alike. Based on experience, panellists will compare and contrast ethical, legal and practical challenges and how they were overcome, with a focus on cross-border situations. The audience will be asked to reflect on its own experience in seeking to ensure the robustness of the investigation process.
