“Who’s Lying?  How to Identify Untruthfulness in Internal Investigations”

July 17, 2008 | 12:00 pm Central | (90 minutes/1.2 CEUs)

Facilitated by:  Michael Johnson, Esq., Leader of Global Compliance’s Course Development Team. Founder of Brightline Compliance and former senior trial attorney at the U.S. Department of Justice.

Summary:
In this interactive presentation, attendees play the role of an investigator, or someone who oversees investigations, and they confront a variety of complex hypothetical scenarios, many of which are based on actual cases.  Michael Johnson will focus on advanced techniques for deciding who’s telling the truth and who’s lying,  and properly documenting your findings.  One of the biggest issues that companies deal with is when they have a “he said/she said” case or another case where there are no eyewitnesses. Often, the employer feels helpless to reach a conclusion on whether the employee is guilty and to impose discipline without “smoking gun evidence.”  This conference is designed to give you the tools to gather all the relevant evidence, reach a conclusion on what happened, and impose corrective action when necessary.

In this interactive session, you will learn how to:

• Respond if an employee discloses misconduct but requests that you keep the matter confidential and not investigate
• Decide if the accused should be transferred or suspended during the investigation
• Respond if the accused brings an attorney, co-worker, or friend to the investigative interview
• Interview the complainant, the accused, and the witnesses using the “Funnel Method”
• Determine if a witness is truthful by  using advanced interviewing techniques
• Deal with  “he said/she said” allegations
• Decide whether you can always order witnesses to not discuss the investigation with others
• Choose the appropriate level of discipline, if needed
• Respond to requests to learn what discipline was imposed on the accused
