After obtaining information about a suspected violation or receiving a report, the first reaction of corporate managers is usually to directly deal with (or fire) the relevant employees. However, commercial bribery or other illegal or disciplinary violations often involve multiple employees and external third-party companies, such as suppliers or customers. Therefore, Aegis recommends that a confidential investigation be conducted from outside the company before taking any administrative punitive measures. The main purpose of this investigation is to collect information related to violations, including but not limited to the list of persons involved, details of specific violations, etc., to determine the reliability of the information on suspected violations or reports.

During the investigation process, the client can also learn some key information that may affect the implementation of follow-up measures, such as the background and social, political, and business relationships of the employee and his family, and the relationship between third-party companies (suppliers, customers, etc.) and the employee, etc. The core purpose is to master as much information as possible in advance to formulate the best response plan and ensure that unexpected situations will not occur and that the company's production operations will not be affected.
