#Internal-Audit

An internal investigation is a ceremonial inquiry whereby an organization ostensibly examines its own misconduct only to gently seal the truth away. It is the art of obscuring responsibility, staging a process that liberates all participants from blame. The resulting report slumbers under the guise of confidentiality, with only a vague summary circulated to the public. In reality, it perpetuates an endless loop of passing the buck between the investigator and the investigated. Ultimately, under the banner of “still under review,” nothing is resolved and everyone moves on to the next scandal.
