Forward(Recorded Webinar) Conducting Effective Internal Investigations
This webinar is included in the Federal Grants Training Membership.
Register now to receive access to the recorded webinar on January 29, 2026. Live webinar registrants will automatically receive access to the recorded webinar.
Every recipient of federal funding grantee eventually is confronted with allegations of wrongdoing by staff, employees, or officers. When faced with such a circumstance, the grantee will need to determine whether the situation warrants a significant internal inquiry—with the end goal of determining whether the grantee has compiled with (or deviated from) applicable federal requirements. Regardless of the type of accusation, your organization must be able to promptly and effectively distinguish credible allegations from false and baseless statements.
Conducting effective internal investigations is critical to ensuring compliance with the myriad of laws, regulations, and other obligations facing federal funding recipients. Join us for this webinar covering the investigation process, from initial evaluation to final report. Attorneys with considerable experience in leading internal investigations will discuss concrete considerations, including:
- Who should conduct the investigation and how formal it should be,
- When to involve outside lawyers,
- Vital “do’s and don’ts” to spread across the entirety of your organization as the investigation proceeds, and
- What the final steps—including a summary or report—may entail.
Target Audience
- Executive Directors and CEOs
- Senior Management
- CFOs/Controllers/Fiscal and Accounting Team Members
- Compliance Officers
- General Counsel
Learning Objectives
After this webinar, you will be able to:
- Identify factors to consider before deciding to begin an internal investigation
- Determine when—and whether—to involve other staff members from across your organization
- Discuss the final steps at the end of an investigation, including summary reports to board members and the challenges of making disclosures to your funding agency, including legal ramifications
