Experience, Expertise, and Preparation: Keys to a Successful Workers' Compensation Fraud Investigation by Stacey Golden (from FC&S Legal: The Insurance Coverage Law Information Center)
Unfortunately, workers’ compensation fraud has been on the rise. The poor state of the U.S. economy is certainly a
factor with the associated mortgage meltdown and government cutbacks. Even rising student debt in this environment is placing pressure on young people. Equally unfortunate for those who see fraud as a solution to their challenges, many consider it easy money and are simply clueless to the potential consequences. There are also plenty of examples of sophisticated cases that require careful and persistent digging.

The
importance
of evidence
collection
and preser-
vation
can be
overpowered
by other
priorities.
Incident Investigation:
Evidence Preservation
Looking back at your last incident investiga-tion, did you experience anything similiar orwere you faced with any of these dilemmas?
•While attending to the needs of injured and dis-
tressed employees, time-sensitive evidence was
missed.
• While securing the area and bringing it back to
a safe mode, circumstances that could have served
as evidence had to be altered.
•In the bustle to minimize costly downtime,
resuming production rushed the evidence collec-
tion process.
• A piece of critical evidence
disappeared.
•The legal department
wished it had more to demon-
strate due diligence.
•A regulatory body's
requirement or request could
not be fulfilled.
In tlie rush to return to a
state that resembles normalcy,
the importance of evidence
collection and preservation
can be overlooked or over-
powered by other priorities.
Evidence is critical to any incident investigation
because it is the data that support the conclusions
of the investigation. The primary intent of an inci-
dent investigation is to identify effective solutions.
To accomplish this, the investigation needs to
uncover causes and how they relate to one another.
Evidence provides support for what the team con-
cludes to be causes, it cultivates a level of confi-
dence that correlates directly to the quality of the
evidence collected. Evidence is the foimdation for
an investigation—for the investigation team as well
as for others reviewing fuhue investigation results
and conclusions.
Many companies do not have a formal evidence
preservation policy in place, so the process is ad
hoc—left up to the investigator or individuals on
the team. Some highly regulated companies, with
the nature of their governing regulations, specify
requirements for evidence documentation. They
tailor their evidence preservation policy to match
the requirements of the regulatory agency. But evi-
dence documentation is not necessarily the same as
evidence collection or preservation. Regulatory
requirements must be considered. However, a poli-
cy can be developed that fulfills the objectives of
the investigation and the requirements of regulato-
ry agencies.
It is best to decide how to handle evidence
before an emergency occurs. Develop an evidence
preservation policy based on the organization's
needs and distribute it to everyone who will have
the responsibility to carry it out. Include it in train-
ing curriculum so pc\iple are familiar with the
process before they actually need it.
What follows are guidelines that any company
can use to develop a simple evidence preservation
policy to help ensure that evidence is managed
effectively throughout an investigation.
Step 1: Assess the Significance
Ask a few simple questions to dtxument the
actual and potential significance of the problem.
Try not to overreact to a rela-
tively benign problem ...

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

RMD24 | Retail media: hoe zet je dit in als je geen AH of Unilever bent? Heid...BBPMedia1
Grote partijen zijn al een tijdje onderweg met retail media. Ondertussen worden in dit domein ook de kansen zichtbaar voor andere spelers in de markt. Maar met die kansen ontstaan ook vragen: Zelf retail media worden of erop adverteren? In welke fase van de funnel past het en hoe integreer je het in een mediaplan? Wat is nu precies het verschil met marketplaces en Programmatic ads? In dit half uur beslechten we de dilemma's en krijg je antwoorden op wanneer het voor jou tijd is om de volgende stap te zetten.
2. ACCIDENTINVESTIGATIONS When a serious workplace accident occurs, it's imperative that employers retain an independent firm to conduct a prompt and thorough workplace investigation. An incomplete, inaccurate or biased investigation can aggravate the problem and increase your potential liability. Investigators must not only understand OSHA issues and employment law, but be expert in gathering evidence, conducting investigations and interviewing employees , victims, witnesses and collateral third parties. CA PI 21748 - CA PPO 14052
3. BACKGROUND INVESTIGATIONS(Workplace Litigation Support) One small piece of information can be the difference between winning and losing a case. Investigators must provide timely and accurate information, expert analysis and the ability to deliver winning results when others cannot. Investigators are required to supply litigation support & document retrieval and a wide range of services to help lawyers & law firms prepare for litigation. CA PI 21748 - CA PPO 14052
4. COMPUTERFORENSIC INVESTIGATIONS Your Computer Forensics team must be competent at recovering deleted text files (documents), graphics (pictures), and all electronically stored information (ESI), and the date codes on all files (when Created, Modified, or Last Accessed). Other areas of expertise must include E-Mail recovery, extraction, de-duplication, and production in a readable format, including attachments and timelines, URL (Internet) activity, websites visited, timelines, downloads, and manipulation of data. Generally the type of investigations involve Intellectual property cases; family law; employment law, probate resolution; asset verification; criminal law (prosecution or defense); litigation support, and trial preparation. Investigators must be experienced expert witnesses, and present their findings with professional courtroom displays. CA PI 21748 - CA PPO 14052
5. COVERTSURVEILLANCE INVESTIGATIONS Surveillance, when conducted properly in compliance with the law is an excellent source of information gathering in support of a workplace investigation. Your surveillance teams must be expert in gathering critical information and documenting in with still photography or video cameras. Surveillance may also be used as part of the OSHA mandated safe workplace , in conjunction with security teams in Workplace Violence Investigations and Crisis Response. CA PI 21748 - CA PPO 14052
6. DUE DILIGENCE Bringing a new business relationship into the workplace requires a due diligence investigation. Ensuring the prospective partner has the capabilities, requisite stability, clear background and solvency is critical to the continued success of the workplace and life of the business. Failure to invest in due diligence can result in a catastrophic business failure. CA PI 21748 - CA PPO 14052
7. FRAUD & EMBEZZLEMENT INVESTIGATIONS Fraud, financial irregularities, employee and commercial disputes are some of the most complex and challenging issues facing business today. They can result in major financial damage, as well as serious reputational and regulatory risks. Investigators must be able to readily able to analyze schemes that may be characterized by their scope, complexity, and the magnitude of the negative economic consequences for communities, employees, lenders, investors, and financial markets. CA PI 21748 - CA PPO 14052
8. HARASSMENT & SEXUAL HARASSMENTINVESTIGATIONS Harassment investigations require interviews of the complainant, the alleged harasser and witnesses. Prior to initiation of the interview process, our sexual harassment workplace investigation team will learn the company's policies, procedures, rules and culture of the organization . This knowledge assists in the investigative and information-gathering process. Out team then gains the confidence and trust of those involved. A trust is then developed between the investigators and the individuals involved helps them discuss the details of the case. Our team gathers the necessary facts to allow the management team to make an informed decision. Our investigations are Court defensible. CA PI 21748 - CA PPO 14052
9. SUBSTANCE ABUSEINVESTIGATIONS The bottom-line impact of substance abuse in the workplace is absenteeism, decreased productivity, higher insurance costs, and liability-related expenses. Statistically about half (47 percent) of workplace accidents are related to substance abuse and disciplinary actions are 90 percent higher among substance abusers. Employee turn-over is significantly higher among substance abusers; and the consumption of health benefits is 300 percent higher among substance abusers. Poor attendance is 66 percent higher among drug users and substance abusers are six times more likely to file a Workers Compensation claim. Substance abuse and theft are often connected and two out of five employees have used an illegal drug while on the job. The best solution – placing an undercover agent into the workforce. Legally gather evidence and actionable intelligence. Then upon conclusion of the undercover operation, conduct intensive interviews, gathering facts for administrative action and possible law enforcement prosecution. CA PI 21748 - CA PPO 14052
10. UNDERCOVERINVESTIGATIONS Undercover investigations are critical for thoroughly and effectively resolving difficult-to-investigate situations such as theft, substance abuse, or other forms of serious employee misconduct. Undercover workplace investigations are employee-interactive. This method develops first-hand evidence and information concerning suspected employees. If necessary, our agents can testify in court. Employers improve their bottom line by substantially reducing losses associated with theft, poor performance, time falsification, substance abuse, product tampering, equipment sabotage and other forms of dishonesty and criminal activity. We use a five stage process which includes planning, information & evidence gathering, interviewing and corroboration, final report to client for action, and training and prevention. CA PI 21748 - CA PPO 14052
11. WORKPLACETHEFTINVESTIGATIONS The US Chamber of Commerce states that employee theft is costing American business $40 billion annually and is increasing by 15% per year. At one point or another every employer will experience theft in the workplace. Faced with challenging economic times, businesses are less able to sustain losses. The workplace investigation process becomes critical to the sustainability of the victim business. Effective investigations allow the employer and their counsel a solid basis for taking corrective action and defending against claims of inaction and unfair treatment. Investigations will either keep you out of court, or enable you to seek prosecution toward the person(s) found to be involved in the crime and possible recovery of your losses. CA PI 21748 - CA PPO 14052
12. WORKPLACEVIOLENCEINVESTIGATIONS Violence in the workplace is an extremely serious safety and health issue. In its most extreme form, homicide, it is the third-leading cause of fatal occupational injury in the United States. TMAP assists our clients with a multi-disciplinary approach, with the initial emphasis on safety and security. The security piece allows the workplace to continue safely while TMAP conducts a through investigation, including mental health analysis by our staff clinicians, and predictive profiling in conjunction with our proprietary risk assessments and surveillance when required. Our goal is always to return the workplace to normal operations as soon as it is deemed safe. CA PI 21748 - CA PPO 14052
13. Workplace Investigations Critical First Steps What TMAP Does Have a reporting process and ensure the information gets to a decision maker.
