An investigation case closure summary creates a concise final snapshot of what the case examined, what work was completed and what remained unresolved when the file was closed.
Useful closure-summary sections
Consider case identifier, opened and closed dates, scope, significant chronology, work performed, key source references, interviews, final status, unresolved items and any documented next steps.
Keep the summary traceable
Reference the underlying timeline, source, interview and action records for material information rather than trying to reproduce the entire case file.
Address unfinished work clearly
If items remain unresolved, identify their status rather than implying they were completed.
Record the closure basis accurately
Use the terminology and approval process required by the organization or jurisdiction handling the matter.
See the CaseWorks Investigation & Case Management System for intake-through-closure organization.
General organizational tools only; not an official closure form or legal advice. Follow all applicable closure, approval, retention and disclosure requirements.
