Internal & External Investigations / Whistle Blowing / Independent Committee

When companies discover the occurrence of improper activities, it is necessary to conduct an internal investigation in order to identify the facts, to investigate the causes, and to establish measures to prevent a recurrence.
However, an internal investigation conducted by a company is not always effective in ascertaining the facts in certain cases where executives and officers, who may have engaged in the improper activities, have a conflict of interest or can potentially coordinate their stories or fabricate important evidence.
Moreover, when improper activities are systemic or when stakeholders such as shareholders, investors, consumers, local communities, and employees have an interest in the company’s improper activities, people may not trust the results of an internal investigation. Therefore, in such cases, it is necessary to entrust the investigation to an external investigative committee, such as an independent committee.
