Getnick & Getnick LLP has long undertaken internal investigations for companies as part of its fraud prevention and detection services. In the early 1990s, the enactment into law of the Federal Sentencing Guidelines for organizations and the government's insistence that corporations self-police intensified the need for corporations to focus on internal and external fraud.
Also during the early 1990s, a related type of corporate investigation developed known as an "independent investigation." Since the early 1990s, Getnick & Getnick LLP has been at the vanguard of efforts to develop the independent investigation both as a tool for businesses to address fraud problems and as a means for governments to police corporations in corruption-prone industries.
