Michael Horowitz, the Inspector General at the US Department of Justice, has long been involved in the compliance community and even served as a member of the advisory board of the Society of Corporate Compliance & Ethics.
As Washington and the world review the latest report from his office, we are pleased to be able to point to two podcasts he recorded with us. In them, he shares his thoughts on how to conduct an investigation fairly and thoroughly. In addition, he provides lessons that compliance professionals can apply to their own investigations.
During his time as the IG at the Department of Justice, Michael has led a myriad of investigations.
While the focus of the most current investigations are far removed from what most compliance professionals face, the process of the investigations would likely look familiar to any compliance officer. That’s something Michael knows first hand, having conducted several investigations as outside counsel for multinational companies.
In a two-part podcast, we gain Michael’s deep and extraordinary insights into how to conduct an investigation fairly and thoroughly, whether you are in the media spotlight, or toiling away quietly in an organization.
In part one he discusses:
- The history of the IG’s office: its history, role, and responsibilities
- How to set objectives for the investigation
- How to begin the investigation
- The challenges of staying on task and avoiding mission creep
- Collecting documentary evidence
- Conducting interviews See less -
