Do you suspect that a manager of your company leaks sensitive information? Has a director represented the company without the required authorisation which resulted in damage? Does an employee structurally violate the staff rules or is there suspicion of sexual harassment? In this event you are likely to take (legal) steps.
Before taking steps have an investigation of the facts carried out!
Whether it concerns a violation of staff rules, a work accident, maladministration, an integrity concern, fraud, a liability matter or a shareholders dispute, it is important that all relevant facts are disclosed. Even with regard to a sensitive subject such as sexual harassment, where the facts are often difficult to discover. It is the only way sensible decisions can be taken.
