This is a two part assignment. I will make two different orders. This one is for Power Point Part 1 and Second order will be place right after this one for Word Document Research Paper Part 2. Both instructions will be attached in both orders for clarity. First is a Power Point business plan that should be between 6-10 PowerPoint slides not counting title slide, table of contents, or the reference slide. This is a brief business plan, and the detailed plan comes in Part Two. Also, an excel file will be attached with companies FCPA investigated in 2015. The main reason for this file is to look for the companies that are not allowed to be used in the paper. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Part Two: Cross Border Compliance Investigation Detailed Investigative Plan (DUE DEC 12, 2015 BY 11:55PM ET)
Having had your Cross Border investigative Business Plan approved, now it is time to provide a detailed document on just what’s at stake.
Assignment Requirements
This report goes to the target company manager that hired you and he/she will deliver it to his/her board of directors. This report is to detail out all the elements you included in your Business Plan. Expand upon each element so that is clear what you are going to do, how you are going to do it, and what is it going to cost.
International data privacy laws are always in play, so be sure the target company knows you know what they are and how they apply to your investigation. What evidence are you seeking and how is it related to your investigation?
Remember to include company policies/codes and relevant U.S. and local substantive laws alleged to have been violated or could be violated if you do not get this case going! Assume the role of an independent contractor (e.g. company that specializes in cross border corporate investigations) working for the target company. This is a Compliance/Fraud investigation of a private, generally publicly traded corporation, so do not assign yourself a law enforcement role. The Business Plan is to be prepared with the mindset of presentation to the target company manager that hired you. The goal is present a plan that identifies risks to the company (list them all) and how you will go about the investigation with the following in mind.
• Executive Summary instead of an abstract (be sure to list your country here and what business is done there)
• Name and details about the Company
• Headquarters
• Type of business
• Annual revenues
• Allegation based on your research
• How was the allegation received? (Hotline, regulatory complaint, law enforcement, other?)
• Address the following in detail challenges (there could be others)
• Travel and logistics
• What’s your Budget; personnel costs, hotel, transportation (ground/air), translators, etc.
• Internal investigation resources – can you meet the challenge?
• Internal groups to partner with
• Cultural and language differences
• Legal and regulatory environment
• Privacy or information issues
• Attorney client privilege
• Who needs to know at this time?
• What information can you share?
• What information should not be shared?
• What are the blocking statutes for electronic information/paper documents?
• What rights do employees or employers have?
• Who needs to be interviewed? If there were names in your research identify the person(s) by name, relevance, and position.
• What questions will you be asking?
Regardless of the status of your (the real case) investigation provide recommendations
• Possibly DPA, termination, or out outcome of your choosing
• Identify any compliance failures
The completed investigative plan should be between 7 – 10 pages, not counting title page, table of contents page (not required), or the reference page in a Word document. Report is to be in APA Style. Remember this is a detailed investigative plan that could be handed to anyone in your department and they could accomplish the task.
Part One: Cross Border Compliance Investigation Business Plan (DUE NOV 14, 2015 BY 11:55PM ET)
Globalization and international business activities have wrought many cross border issues some of which involve bribery, corruption, conflict of interest, money laundering, insider trading, environmental crimes, data breaches, and industry specific regulatory problems to name a few. In this part of the two part assignment, the student will be assigned a specific country and be required to prepare a business plan to investigate a selected wrongdoing. The student will research a company in the assigned country and select from one of the above issues. It need not matter if the issue is new, ongoing, or has been adjudicated. (My assigned country is Poland)
