[4/13 webinar] Has the number of third-party committees decreased? -Latest Trends in Fraud Investigation Practices Seen from Statistical Data-

[Oh-Ebashi Law Office / FRONTEO Co-sponsored Online Seminar]

Recently, I have heard from many practitioners engaged in fraud investigations that they feel that the number of third-party committees will decrease in 2022.Although there is certainly such a sense, is the number of third-party committees really decreasing, and if so, what is the background? I was interested in whether there was anything to be done.
Therefore, in this seminar, we will examine the trends in the latest practices based on statistical data of fraud investigation cases, as well as the trends in investigation forms such as third-party committees, and the independence and fairness of investigations when third-party committees are not adopted. I would like to explain practical measures to ensure compliance and think with everyone about matters that companies should keep in mind when conducting or requesting fraud investigations.
