Managing reputation through investigations One crucial function of investigations is to protect and recover assets, and reputation is perhaps the most precious asset of all. In the private sector, specialist kinds of investigation have evolved to help clients whose name is under threat determine and set out the truth. This article explores the value and challenges that result from investigating one’s own client, and suggests how to navigate the sometimes complex dynamics to deliver powerful results. Why It Matters: Due diligence assesses the effect a counterparty’s reputation will have on a client’s good name. Dispute support work frequently requires a detailed understanding of the reputations of counterparties and witnesses. But there are certain categories of investigation that help directly to build, protect or repair reputation, and each, in its own way, is part of the answer Note to self - I shall be adding this to my notes on conducting reputation due diligence reviews. https://lnkd.in/dVJMsaX6 Elliot S.

Something you may not know is that the P.E.A.C.E. framework for investigative interviewing is far from a 'popular for the time' transient concept. Its adoption by leading law enforcement agencies and regulatory authorities worldwide is a testament to its enduring value. From the United Kingdom to Canada, and across continents to Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, the United Arab Emirates, and the Republic of Ireland, P.E.A.C.E. has become the gold standard for investigative interviewing. The methodology's robust, principled approach is grounded in decades of academic research and field application. P.E.A.C.E. is an acronym that encapsulates its methodical structure: Preparation and Planning, Engage and Explain, Account, Closure, and Evaluate. Each phase is critical, ensuring interviews are conducted with precision, transparency, and integrity. In the United States, our work here is developing compounding recognition of P.E.A.C.E.'s merits among federal and local law enforcement, regulatory bodies, and within the private sector. This shift reflects a concerted move towards methods that enhance information gathering while upholding the principles of justice and fairness. As a global leader in investigative interviewing training, Forensic Interview Solutions FIS® is committed to advancing this reputable methodology. Our expertise ensures that professionals are proficient in a framework that's not only respected worldwide but also effective in practice.

Sometimes good things come one after the other! It is an incredible honor to be named as one of the 40 under 40 leading young investigations specialists around the world by Global Investigations Review. Thank you to Mini vandePol, Vivian（Wei) Wu, Henry Chen, Christine Cuthbert and all the partners and mentors who supported my growth and development over the years, and our clients who make it so easy to love what we do. We do what we do because I believe we make a difference to the world, one person and one company at a time, by helping them make the right decisions, and to act ethically even when nobody is looking. I wish I could talk to my 25-year-old self, because I did not have a mentor growing up in Canada who could've guided me as a first-generation lawyer, but if I could say something to myself, it would be this: "In hindsight, there was really nothing to be anxious about. In all the ways that matter, I found success because of the richness of my relationships with family and friends and my uncanny ability to make sensible decisions at exactly the right time when the inflexion point inevitably comes." This is me. https://lnkd.in/ggngdVk8 #GIR40under40 #investigations #compliance #GIR #sanctions #tradecontrols #whitecollar #globalinvestigations #40under40

The Importance of an Information Management Policy in Modern Agencies In today's digital age, where information is abundant and critical for decision-making, having a robust information management policy is imperative for organizations to thrive. An information management policy serves as a compass, guiding staff in creating, capturing, and managing information assets to meet business, legal, and stakeholder requirements. It assigns clear responsibilities across the agency, ensuring accountability and efficiency. It's crucial for an information management policy to align with the principles, environment, and strategic directions outlined in the agency's information governance framework. The "Building trust in the public record" policy emphasizes the need for agencies to update their information governance framework, integrating enterprise-wide information management practices. Developing or updating an agency's information management policy should be a core component of implementing this governance framework. Such a policy sets expectations for effective information management practices, processes, and systems that support information as a valuable organizational asset. It also highlights the benefits of good information management, such as improved decision-making and operational efficiency. Moreover, an information management policy delineates roles and responsibilities, fostering a culture of accountability and collaboration within the organization. By demonstrating a commitment to meeting business, legislative, and regulatory requirements, agencies instill trust in stakeholders and enhance their reputation. Furthermore, a well-crafted information management policy contributes to an environment that values the integrity and accessibility of information assets. This, in turn, supports the delivery of business outcomes by ensuring that information is reliable, secure, and readily available when needed. Thus, an information management policy is not just a document; it's a strategic tool that underpins the effective functioning of modern agencies. By adhering to its principles and implementing its guidelines, organizations can unlock the full potential of their information assets, driving success in an increasingly data-driven world.
