Module 3:

What to Do When You Are in the Middle of an Internal Investigation

Post Sarbanes-Oxley, companies are under a microscope more than ever before. Compliance and self-regulation are crucial.

The goal of this training module is to help Directors and senior management understand when the Board should ask for an internal investigation. What should be disclosed, when and to whom during internal investigations? This module will also explore what action items should be taken right away and what long term planning is needed to protect both the company and its shareholders.

• What to do when the CEO has just been fired
• Privilege Issues
• Treatment of Whistleblowers under SOX M
• Assessing the Impact of Risk
• Coordinating a Response to an Investigation
• Leaving the Scandal Behind
