José Alberto Acevedo Cerón
Attorney · Director of Investigations
He has led 300+ investigations into misconduct, harassment, conflict of interest, retaliation and fraud for multinational companies, with matters across Mexico, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Brazil and the United States, in regulated, bilingual, high-sensitivity corporate environments, reporting to global legal, compliance and HR functions.
His practice combines Mexican labor law and the region’s frameworks with international investigative methodology: ACFE standards, Wicklander-Zulawski investigative interviewing, and ISO/TS 37008 and ISO 37002 for internal investigations and whistleblowing systems. On that foundation he built IEC’s proprietary methodologies (ICHR™, DDA™ and CAL-5.X) which today let the firm promise what it promises: 48-hour triage and defensible case files, at subscription scale.
- Internal investigations: 8+ years, 300+ cases, multinational environments
- Training: ACFE methodology · Wicklander-Zulawski interviewing
- Standards: ISO/TS 37008:2023 · ISO 37002 · ILO Convention 190
- Working languages: English and Spanish
Everything stays inside the firm
Every investigation is conducted in-house, end to end: the one who signs the triage conducts the interviews and answers for the report. IEC does not subcontract or delegate its investigative work to third parties. Fewer hands on the case file means one thing for your company: real confidentiality.
