[You can download the materials of the seminar held on October 10th from the form below]

◆ Points of attendance
In recent years, guidelines on third-party committees have become commonplace as a response to corporate scandals. However, it is difficult to say that there is sufficient guidance for "internal investigations," which come before the third-party committees and should be overwhelming in terms of number of cases.
This seminar, entitled "Handling Manual for Internal Investigations Concerning Corporate Misconduct," will outline how to proceed with "internal investigations" when misconduct occurs, what are the key points to keep in mind, etc., and explain "internal investigations" so that corporate managers and practitioners can confidently handle such matters in practice.
