Lydian & ACFE Seminar "Legal update on new legislation on private investigations"
Lydian and the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) are organising a seminar on the Private Investigation Act on 24 September 2024. This new legislation applies to companies carrying out private investigation activities as well as internal private investigation departments within companies (such as an internal fraud cell). This new framework, which replaces the outdated Act of 19 July 1991 regulating private detectives, includes a lot of formalities such as obtaining a licence, maintaining an investigation file, assignment register, regulation for employers, etc. Moreover, it also creates new guidelines for conducting well-defined investigative acts (such as observations and interviews) that will have a significant impact on internal investigations.
This seminar is aimed at both established private investigators and companies with structural private investigation activities, as well as human resources departments of small and large companies.
