• Staffing levels and workload means the investigation or audit may take several months to complete.
• Your staff is not experienced in doing interviews (you are a small human resources department that has to handle complaints involving public works, confidential and miscellaneous employees).
• The employee who is the subject of the investigation is a ranking member of your department.
• The subject employee is a coworker or friend of your in-house investigator.
