What documentation should Alisi create when reporting illegal activities involving a former employee?

Creating a Chain of Custody is essential when reporting illegal activities involving a former employee because it ensures that all evidence is collected, preserved, and documented in a manner that maintains its integrity. This documentation tracks the transfer of evidence from the point of collection through to its presentation in legal proceedings, establishing who handled the evidence and how it was stored. This is crucial in legal contexts, as it can substantiate the legitimacy of the evidence and its relevance to any criminal investigations or prosecutions.

In contrast, while an Incident Report documents the specifics of the event and a Log of Events may help in tracking the timeline of incidents, these forms do not provide the same level of assurance regarding the handling and integrity of physical or digital evidence. The Employee Conduct Policy serves as a guideline for expected behavior within the organization but does not address the documentation and handling of potentially criminal evidence. Thus, creating a Chain of Custody is the most appropriate and critical step in ensuring that the reports of illegal activities are substantiated and actionable in a legal context.
