Which three statements are least appropriate?

A disciplined approach is based on compiling sound evidence from reliable and confirmed sources with the resulting documents put together in a systematic fashion. Practical points to note:

a. The police prefer cases to be well presented with the evidence clearly compiled.

b. We should determine whether the enquiry is an internal disciplinary matter or a case for the police.

c. The police should be assigned a liaison officer which may be an internal auditor who will be in contact with them throughout the investigation.

d. When an allegation first comes to light, it is essential that the affected area is defined since any initial covert enquiries will have to be performed outside this area.

e. Where an employee is being investigated by the police as a result of an internal investigation, it is not possible to discipline this person.

f. When an employee is accused of stealing the organization’s assets, it is important that the situation is quite clear.

g. The standard of evidence will be high since it will be scrutinized in detail at any later court hearing or internal disciplinary hearing.

h. It is best for audit to present disciplinaries and represent the organization in court while the management role may be reserved as that of principal witnesses.

i. Under the Data Protection Act 1984, non-disclosure does not apply where the information is needed to detect crime or apprehend or prosecute offenders.

j. The Advance Disclosure of Evidence Act stops defence from looking at witness statements before the case comes to trial.

k. When conducting an investigation, always open a file and adhere to the in-house standards.
