Course Description:

It began with a nervous call from our client who suspected a letter (on state letterhead) our consultant provided may have been a forgery.  Thus began a year-long journey into the mind and work product of a former employee who was willing to do nearly anything to avoid confrontation. Together we will journey through our response to this allegation which included: (1) conducting a thorough internal investigation to determine and address the true scope of the employee’s actions;  (2) interacting with multiple state and federal regulators to address their concerns; and (3) repairing our relationship with clients whose trust had been abused.

As you will hear, this process was painful at times.  However, by being honest and transparent we were able to demonstrate to ourselves and others that the actions did not reflect the ethical culture of Terracon. In the end, we emerged with stronger client and regulator relationships than before the incident and we ensured that our corporate culture continued to be one based on ethical foundation.
