A multi-national charity received an anonymous whistleblower complaint of financial misconduct by an executive abroad.  One of our lawyers was retained to manage an investigation and advisory engagement, assessing the allegation and providing advice on management of the findings.  A thorough multi-disciplinary and multi-country allegation, including cyber, forensic accounting, and in-person interviews concluded that the allegation was false, though based on a misunderstanding of other concerning behavior.   Working with internal counsel, international counsel, and an external public relations firm, our lawyer helped the Client navigate a complex situation while maintaining both its obligations under multiple countries’ non-profit and charitable organizations laws and to its commitment to ethical behavior standards.
