Hidden Risks
A Guide to Modern Corporate Investigative Practice
by Daniel J. Conidi, Esquire · Mid-Atlantic Law Press · Available in English
What Your Organization Doesn’t Know Is Costing You
Corporate fraud, internal theft, IP theft, vendor misconduct, and workplace threats are costing American businesses billions annually — and most organizations don’t discover the problem until the damage is already done. The difference between companies that catch it early and those that don’t comes down to one thing: knowing what professional corporate investigation actually looks like.
Daniel J. Conidi, Esquire brings a perspective no typical consultant can offer. With 26 years as a Senior Special Agent with the U.S. Department of Justice and U.S. Department of Homeland Security, 14 years in private legal practice, and certification as a Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE), he has investigated complex fraud, corruption, and organizational misconduct at the federal level — and has spent over a decade helping organizations protect themselves through his private practice and investigative agency.
As Director of the Mid-Atlantic Law Project, Mr. Conidi has committed to making professional-grade knowledge accessible to the organizations that need it most. Hidden Risks delivers on that commitment — a comprehensive guide to corporate investigative practice written for executives, general counsel, HR professionals, and risk managers who need to understand what they’re dealing with before the crisis arrives.
The risk is already inside your organization. This book shows you how to find it.
