Based on extensive interdisciplinary research and the author's over 30
years of experience in the field, this book provides best practice
skills for auditors and investigators in any type of investigation and
adapts them to ensure they are relevant to a corporate environment where
the powers available to police are absent.
In addition to providing technical skills and practical advice on
investigative interviewing, former police investigator Kevin Sweeney
explains how to analyze information to assist in the investigation and
to identify emerging trends to provide opportunities to prevent problems
before they occur. Readers will come to understand legal concepts such
as the chain of evidence, the psychological factors involved in
questioning, and the sociological factors that can help to build a macro
understanding of the organization and the event in question.
This book will become an essential resource for professionals involved
in auditing or investigation work of any type in the corporate or public
sectors, in contexts including human resources, employee relation
investigations, auditing, or where criminal activity is suspected.
