Fundamentals of Compliance Investigations Workshop
Virtual, Central Time (CT)Learn how to conduct effective compliance investigations—from start to finish
When a compliance concern is reported, knowing what to do next—and how to do it well—matters.
This interactive virtual workshop gives you a practical foundation for conducting effective compliance investigations from start to finish. You’ll explore how to plan your approach, gather and document evidence, conduct effective interviews, report your findings, and determine appropriate next steps.
Whether you’re new to investigations, part of a small team where investigations are one of many responsibilities, or looking to strengthen your existing approach, you’ll leave with a clearer process for handling investigations and greater confidence putting it into practice.
Conducted over two half-day sessions, the workshop gives you time to absorb what you learn, reflect between sessions, and return ready to build on it the next day.
What you’ll walk away with
After attending, you’ll be better prepared to:
- Approach an investigation with a clear plan and understand the key steps from initial concern through resolution
- Determine the appropriate scope and direction of an investigation before getting started
- Gather, evaluate, and document evidence in an organized and thoughtful way
- Prepare for and conduct more effective interviews, including asking questions that help uncover relevant information
- Document findings and communicate results clearly to the appropriate stakeholders
- Navigate what comes next once an investigation is complete
- Apply a more consistent, repeatable approach to future investigations
- Handle your role in the investigation process with greater confidence
Leave with a stronger process—and greater confidence
