Lydian & ACFE Seminar "Legal update on new legislation on private investigations"
Yesterday, Lydian and the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) organised a seminar on the Act on private investigations given by Yves Lenders, Stijn Lamberigts, Tim Van Landeghem, Sarah Witvrouw, Sonny Luypaert, Jens Moerman and Maarten Van Knippenberg. This new legislation will, upon entry into force, apply to companies carrying out private investigation activities as well as to 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 This new framework, which replaces the outdated Act of 19 July 1991 regulating private detectives, includes a lot of formalities such as obtaining a licence, maintaining an investigation file, assignment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 was aimed at both established private investigators and companies with structural private investigation activities, as well as human resources departments of small and large companies.
Many thanks to all participants!
