Challenges in Corporate Investigations: Inaugural Survey ResultsWebinar | 29 April 2026
About this webinar
Corporate investigations are operating in an environment of accelerating complexity. AI is reshaping how evidence is gathered and analysed. Data privacy regulation is tightening. Investigative teams are stretched thin. And questions around independence are more pressing than ever.
To understand how the profession is navigating these pressures, the Association of Corporate Investigators (ACi), in together with Forensic Risk Alliance (FRA), is launching a dedicated benchmarking survey of the corporate investigations community, having gathered responses from over 140 investigators across 42 countries and 24 industry sectors.
Join us on 29 April as we present the full findings for the first time.
The state of AI adoption in corporate investigations – theopportunities, the risks, and what investigators say they need to use it responsibly
Why capacity constraints are undermining investigation quality across organisations of all sizes
The stakeholder cooperation gap – and what governance structures are (and aren’t) helping
Emerging risks on the horizon: regulatory shifts, digital evidence challenges, and workforce change
Who should attend
This webinar is relevant to anyone involved in or responsible for corporate investigations, including professionals working in compliance, legal, HR, internal audit, and risk functions.
Natural language AI tools are transforming how investigators interact with data—shifting teams from complex query building to conversational exploration, surfacing narratives faster, and accelerating early case understanding. In corporate investigations, this evolution promises meaningful efficiency gains, while also introducing new considerations around accuracy, defensibility, and responsible use.
This free webinar will explore how conversational AI is being applied in investigative workflows today, where it delivers real value, and where caution is warranted.
Drawing on practical experience and emerging innovations—including Relativity’s aiR Assist, an in-platform natural language Q&A solution now in Advanced Access—we’ll discuss how investigators can better understand actors, relationships, and events within their data, uncover insight earlier, and move case strategy forward with confidence. Throughout, we’ll examine how to balance speed with rigor to maintain control, defensibility, and trust.
