She receives reports in strict confidence, provides the legal assessment and supports their legally robust integration into internal decision-making and investigation processes. Reports frequently relate to corruption and bribery-related offences, fraud and breach of trust, allegations of accounting and billing manipulation, money laundering, data protection and confidentiality breaches, as well as employment-related criminal law matters.
