Webinar: Navigating & Managing Internal Investigations

WEBINAR: Navigating & Managing Internal Investigations

Internal investigations can be viewed as a specialised form of project management, where the "project" aims to uncover facts, mitigate risks, and protect the organisation. Just as a well-managed project can deliver value, a well-conducted internal investigation can save a company from costly regulatory penalties and reputational damage. The ability to plan, execute, and oversee these investigative projects is a critical skill for project managers expanding into governance and compliance roles.  

Project managers often find their skills directly applicable to managing internal investigations, which can be seen as time-bound, goal-oriented endeavors with defined scopes and resources - hallmarks of traditional projects. These "investigative projects" may include probing into issues such as fraud schemes leveraging new technologies, insider trading, theft, or bribery.

Like complex technical projects, some investigations can be challenging, with remote working arrangements adding another layer of complexity. Applying project management principles to investigations - including careful planning, stakeholder management, resource allocation, and risk mitigation - can lead to more efficient and effective outcomes.

For project managers, developing expertise in this specialised type of project not only broadens their skill set but also positions them as valuable assets in maintaining organisational integrity and compliance.
