Internal Investigations Handbook
Stephen A. Miller, JD
Product Description:
Finally!
The comprehensive information you need to investigate potential problems that may result in civil or even criminal liability for your organization.
Implementing effective internal investigations is an ongoing challenge for compliance officers. Each investigation presents legal, financial, political, and ethical challenges, which if not handled properly, can destroy the credibility of the investigation, or worse, result in greater legal liability for your organization or you.
With increased government laws and guidelines — including the updated OIG Compliance Program Guidance, the revised Sentencing Guidelines, the False Claims Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and even the Deficit Reduction Act — you can’t afford to gamble with your investigation process.
Here are the practical, convenient, and useful tools you need to get your internal investigations focused and positioned to deliver effective results.
Internal Investigations Handbook helps you effectively respond to allegations and indications of noncompliance by teaching you, step-by-step, how to conduct an orderly internal investigation. With a focus on avoiding mistakes that can create new legal issues, this book and CD-ROM set provides the latest strategies and advice to determine whether an allegation is credible, whether it requires investigation, and how that investigation should be conducted.
