INTRODUCTION
Internal investigations seek to detect the verity about an
alleged misconduct within the organization. Misconduct in
organization is defined as a substantial or intentional disregard
of the employer's interests or contract of employment. For an
internal investigation to be conducted properly, it must carried
out without compromising the relationship with innocent employees,
tarnishing reputations and fact finding. This requires good
planning, consistent execution, analytical skill, and understanding
of the legalities involved.
Each alleged misconduct is different, some involving directors
or employees. Some are prompted by an internal reporting or
monitoring system, tip line or whistleblowers. And thus an internal
investigation is conducted within the organization.
