Strengthening Accountability Through Leadership Investigations Training

A Leadership Investigations Training, supported by the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) in collaboration with the Internal Risk Management Group (IRMG) was conducted to strengthen leadership capacity in managing investigations within organizations.

The training brought together leaders and senior staff from various organizations, focusing on the critical role of leadership in overseeing investigations and promoting ethical, transparent, and accountable workplaces. Participants were guided through key principles that support effective leadership decision-making during sensitive and complex investigation processes.

Core areas covered included investigation oversight, roles and responsibilities of leaders, managing conflicts of interest, ensuring fairness and confidentiality, and upholding due process. The sessions emphasized practical approaches to handling cases related to misconduct, fraud, and workplace grievances.

Through interactive discussions and real-life case studies, the training highlighted how informed and ethical leadership contributes to credible investigations and stronger governance systems. The support of IRMG and ACFE reinforced the importance of applying internationally recognized standards and best practices in investigation processes.

The Leadership Investigations Training provided a valuable platform for learning, collaboration, and experience sharing, contributing to improved investigation practices and enhanced accountability across participating organizations.
