Practical brief for attorneys, paralegals, and business teams.

An internal concern can quickly expand into unrelated questions. A written scope keeps the work focused on the reported conduct, relevant period, and sources that may clarify it.

A focused approach

Identify the allegation, known facts, people involved, and policies the business wishes to review. Agree on who receives updates and who may authorize additional work.

Points to address

  • Separate the complaint from corroborating information
  • Document relevant dates and sources
  • Consider alternative explanations

What the findings mean

The investigator develops facts. Management, HR, and counsel determine the appropriate response using the full context and their respective responsibilities.
