Universities & higher education sector - investigations

Criminal, civil and reputational risk in the University sector is on the rise. Bribery, sanctions, export control, terrorist financing and money laundering risks are more prevalent as Universities engage internationally.

In addition, how organisations respond to whistleblowing reports into allegations of criminality, sexual misconduct and bullying & harassment are under the spotlight like never before. In this session, we will explore:

• The lessons from the recently publicised independent review of City of Edinburgh Council’s whistleblowing and organisational culture and processes.
