We're very excited that Sam will be presenting at the next AIPI meetup on Tuesday 25 March 2025 at the Marion Hotel.
Sam Horrocks is a Principal Investigator and Director of Henderson Horrocks Risk Services. She is a Committee member of the AIPI SA Chapter, and she has an extensive background in business systems, HR Policy, WHS, and performance appraisal/management. Sam's work now predominantly consists of factual investigations for government and commercial enterprises into potential employee misconduct, bullying and harassment, governance/fraud, and workplace assault and theft.
This discussion session will focus on identifying risk within the investigation industry and how to minimise it. Sam will introduce topics, and we want your input and experiences.
Topics for discussion include:
Risks associated with taking on new clients for both factual and surveillance matters and when it's important to run a background check.
How to reduce your WHS risks when attending interviews, serving documents, skip tracing, or conducting surveillance.
Your actions and behaviours that give rise to risk.
Risks associated with potential conflicts of interest.
Risks arising from clients asking you to make findings of fact and recommendations.
What are the legal, moral and ethical risks associated with investigations? From witnessing criminal activity during surveillance to reporting misconduct and corruption when acting as a public officer for the government.
Identifying risks for clients – impact on all parties, non-action, legal v practical, “the irreparable relationship.”
Reducing client and self-risk by referring to lawyers.
