COURSE OVERVIEW
The Certificate in Corporate Investigations has been conducted across Australia for the past ten years. It is the most widely recognised and accepted short course for people who want to develop the ability to conduct investigations into workplace disciplinary matters, allegations of fraud or suspected regulatory non-compliance. The course is delivered through a two-day competency based training workshop where participants develop practical skills with outcomes including the ability to collect evidence, take a statement from a witness and conduct an interview with a respondent.
Intending participants of this course can feel confident they will be completing a program that not only builds practical skills and theoretical knowledge but also adds real value to their professional resume as the most recognised and accepted short course on corporate investigations conducted in Australia.
The course articulates directly with the Diploma of Government (Investigation) - PSP51704; the Certificate IV in Government (Investigation) - PSP41504; and the Diploma of Management. These qualifications are nationally recognised and accredited under the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF).
WHO SHOULD DO THIS COURSE
This program is developed for people who currently work within an organisation where their duties may require the performance of investigations. It is especially relevant to workplace misconduct, regulatory non-compliance and fraud investigations. Organisations that send staff on this course include Commonwealth agencies, State government departments, financial institutions, local government, large corporations, management consulting firms, health services providers and investigative commissions. Some of the common employment fields of previous participants have included human resources, industrial relations, regulatory compliance, financial and/or quality audit, fraud control, privacy and FOI, performance and conduct management, safety, EEO and diversity, risk management, legal, complaint management and team supervision or area management. The occupational focus of the course is on investigations conducted by people employed by organisations and it should not be confused with the private inquiry style programs such as those taught by security related training organisations.
