8.30 – 11.30 Friday 15 May 2026, Sydney
Investigating fraud and corruption always comes with its share of challenges – and these challenges bear heavily on the modern integrity and security landscape, especially with emerging considerations and increased pressures on mental health. Scams and attacks are becoming more frequent every day, amidst increasingly complex regulatory considerations, and now facing an expanded range of considerations around psychological impacts and phenomena. Your investigations need to be airtight from start to end, but not at the cost of psychological wellbeing for your investigators and their subjects.
This post-conference workshop will be essential for you and your peers, in transforming your conference learnings into action. This workshop will be particularly essential for any fraud and corruption control professional looking to deepen their understanding of the real world experience of complex and harmful investigations – the exclusive case study presented in this workshop, based on a real case of organisational misconduct, provides an unmatched opportunity to understand investigations and their risks on the coalface. Led by an experienced investigations professional with decades of expertise in both investigations and occupational safety, you will develop key tools, techniques, and safeguards, to maximise the effectiveness of your investigations whilst controlling the risks of psychological harm in the process.
Investigate fraud and corruption intelligently and prevent disaster with learnings including:
- Establishing the fundamental qualities of an effective investigation
- Understanding psychosocial hazards faced by investigators in fraud/corruption cases
- Identifying psychosocial risks for witnesses and victims
- Developing strategies to protect investigator and witness wellbeing
- Creating organisational frameworks to manage psychosocial safety
- Learning from a real case where HR investigation uncovered systemic corruption
