Internal Investigations

As organisations expand and regulatory demands intensify, obtaining a comprehensive understanding of internal operations becomes increasingly challenging. COBALT’s Internal Investigations team offers extensive experience in conducting thorough assessments to identify and mitigate potential compliance risks that could lead to substantial fines or, in severe cases, even business closure. Our approach ensures that clients maintain adherence to legal standards and uphold the integrity of their operations.

Our clients include multinational corporations, small and medium-sized enterprises, and non-profit organisations, seeking to ensure compliance and address internal issues effectively. We collaborate closely with management and key personnel to gain a nuanced understanding of each organisation’s unique challenges.

Our internal investigations services include, among others:

• In-depth internal audits to support and/or prevent litigation – conducting on-site visits, interviews with management and key employees, and thorough document analysis, including bank accounts, emails, and asset tracing, to uncover and resolve potential issues.
• Remediation and legal action support – assisting in rectifying identified deficiencies and, if necessary, providing the basis for civil or criminal actions against perpetrators.
• Discreet and privileged investigations – ensuring investigations are conducted swiftly and confidentially, maintaining attorney-client privilege to protect sensitive information.
• Review and revision of internal regulations – evaluating and updating company policies to ensure alignment with current legal and regulatory requirements.
• Utilisation of advanced analytical tools – employing cutting-edge software solutions to detect complex schemes that may otherwise remain concealed.
• Employee training and preparedness – providing training sessions and conducting mock visits to prepare employees for potential interactions with authorities, fostering a culture of compliance.

At COBALT, we are committed to delivering tailored solutions that address the specific needs of each client. Our proactive and meticulous approach enables organisations to confirm compliance or promptly implement corrective measures, thereby safeguarding their operations and reputation.
