Called Before Congress? How Companies Can Prepare for Congressional Investigations

Kimberly Hamm and Carlos Felipe Uriarte appeared on Ethisphere’s Ethicast to speak to Bill Coffin about what organizations should understand about congressional scrutiny, how investigations unfold, and why preparation across internal teams matters.

The conversation explored what a congressional investigation really entails, whether companies should expect executive testimony, the emerging issues most likely to attract attention, and how congressional inquiries can intersect with other government investigations or enforcement actions. Kim and Carlos also discussed how ethics and compliance, legal, and government affairs teams can work together before a crisis hits, and whether there is such a thing as “winning” before Congress.
