Investigating allegations of fraud, regulatory violations and internal whistleblower complaints can be part of the usual duties of an audit committee. Usually, these duties are part of the board's audit committee charter and can be quite demanding and time-consuming. Each circumstance must be reviewed and, if deemed substantiated, an investigation must be launched.

PWC's Loop outlines the factors that audit committees should consider when analyzing allegations. She then discusses the framework for structuring each investigation. External third-party support is often required. The experience of all resources, both inside and outside the company, is extremely important when regulators are involved.
