Advisory Panel at Association of Corporate Investigators - London, England, United Kingdom
The Association of Corporate Investigators was launched as a result of a group of corporate investigation team heads identifying a gap in the current universe of associations, catering for the needs of corporate professionals. In particular, accredited qualifications and training for corporate investigators are not universal. Equally, there is no networking or central resource platform for members of the corporate investigations community. Limited research carried out by investigation team heads amongst their own teams identified an appetite especially from graduates or junior members for an association, which promoted the professional standing of their role and an independent voice alongside their colleagues in other professional areas such as finance, audit, and legal. The association fills that gap.
