The ROI of a Federal-Grade Investigation
Cost Avoidance
Federal-grade internal investigations can prevent criminal charges that could cost companies hundreds of millions in fines and penalties. A rapid response to whistleblower allegations and early intervention can avoid consent decrees and corporate integrity agreements, while minimizing civil penalties through strategic cooperation with government enforcement agencies. Additionally, professional investigations reduce overall litigation costs by facilitating early case resolution and demonstrating genuine "self-regulation" through effective remediation efforts.
Operational Continuity
Professional investigations help companies maintain regulatory approvals during periods of government scrutiny, preserving critical business relationships with FDA and other agencies. Companies can avoid operational disruption by demonstrating proactive compliance efforts based on an understanding of regulatory agency priorities. Most importantly, credible investigation processes protect stock prices and market confidence by showing stakeholders that potential issues are being handled professionally and transparently.
Competitive Advantage
Enhanced compliance programs validated by federal investigation standards not only demonstrates a company's commitment to patient safety and ethical culture, they provide strategic differentiation in the marketplace. Companies benefit from improved risk management based on enforcement intelligence and insider knowledge of regulatory priorities. Professional investigations also strengthen regulatory relationships that can facilitate faster approvals for new products and business initiatives. Finally, a demonstrated reputation for integrity and professional compliance management attracts top talent and strategic partners who value working with ethically-managed organizations.
