Practical brief for attorneys, paralegals, and business teams.

An internal interview plan should help reviewers understand the sequence of events and the basis of each person’s account. It should not assume the allegation is already established.

A focused approach

Prepare topics rather than a script of expected answers. Ask how the person knows each fact and what records or other witnesses may support the account.

Points to address

  • Use neutral opening questions
  • Distinguish direct knowledge from secondhand information
  • Record unresolved points for follow-up

What the findings mean

Consistent documentation makes accounts easier to compare. Differences should be explored rather than quietly edited out of the final summary.
