Responding quickly and efficiently to alleged or suspected fraud, misconduct or other improprieties such as violations of laws, regulations or organizational policies is critical.

Organizations often lack the resources with the right skills and backgrounds to proficiently conduct a prompt, cost-effective and objective investigation. As fraud and misconduct siphons billions of dollars each year from organizations worldwide, damages reputations and puts public trust in the marketplace at risk, boards and management at all levels are obliged to rapidly get to the bottom of a matter.
