Investigation workflow

1. Preserve

Identify and preserve relevant documents, communications and records.

2. Map

Build chronology, access map, transaction map and issue matrix.

3. Test

Compare allegations against documents, policies, approvals and contradictions.

4. Assess

Evaluate legal exposure, evidentiary strength and control failures.

5. Recommend

Typical outputs

Chronology, evidence matrix, issue-wise findings, contradiction analysis, access or responsibility mapping, risk assessment and recommended next steps.

Why process matters

An investigation should preserve fairness and evidentiary integrity. Management decisions are stronger when they rest on a verified record rather than suspicion.
