Internal investigation workshops:

What happened? How to conduct an internal investigation

This workshop will assist public officers to conduct thorough and fair internal investigations.

The capacity to conduct thorough and timely internal investigations is essential in preserving an organisation’s integrity. An internal investigation can be used to identify inappropriate and unacceptable behaviour, poor policies and procedures, and failures in process.

Led by senior Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) investigators and lawyers, participants will learn valuable tools to ensure internal investigations are properly planned, carried out fairly and focused on truth-finding.
