INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATIONS

We assist clients who are facing accusations of possible wrongdoing by providing an independent perspective in the analysis. We put together teams of independent professionals from a wide range of disciplines including law enforcement, legal, accounting and regulatory experience as well as years of consulting and advisory services in diverse industries worldwide. We combine traditional fact gathering with meticulous research and analysis, forensic accounting and cutting edge best practices standards.

COMPLIANCE PROGRAMS

We have extensive experience responding to any regulatory inquiry. Assessing the significance of a regulatory inquiry early in the process and formulating an appropriate response can save an institution millions of dollars in fines and protect against potential prosecution. We specialize in working on a parallel track with both regulators and prosecutors scrutiny. We work closely with both to negotiate settlements of enforcement actions. Our goal is to create compliance and integrity programs that restore corporate credibility.

MONITORING & INDEPENDENT COUNSEL SERVICES

Monitors and Independent Counsel can help your firm demonstrate to prosecutors and regulators that the information you are providing has been gathered in the most independent way possible. We will assist you in answering questions, subpoena response, compliance with relevant laws and regulations, and prevent or uncover unethical or illegal conduct. An independent monitor can make the difference in regaining regulators and law enforcement trust both during and after a troubling occurrence.

INVESTIGATIVE PRACTICES

In light of recent events with Hewlett Packard, it is more important than ever to ensure appropriate investigative protocol. We work with in house and outside counsel to create ethical investigative programs and procedures. Using a cross disciplinary approach, we create Best Practice programs to evaluate and strengthen internal controls, risk management processes, and compliance programs.

TRAINING

Most employees will say that what they remember most about mandatory training programs is that they didn't understand what was being said to them, couldn't remember the details, and that it had no practical application in their day to day work life. They will also tell you that they have never looked at the materials since. Through interactive training techniques, Tendy Law Office will custom design a training program that will give your employees practical wisdom in their day to day work life.
