An ethical culture doesn’t just happen—it takes diligence. Each of the key stakeholders in the financial reporting supply chain—the financial team, the internal audit function, and the board and audit committee—plays an important part. Not surprisingly, corporate culture is a significant factor in the auditor’s fraud risk assessment of a company. Hear how successful organizations leverage their resources to reinforce an ethical culture, assess the effectiveness of their initiatives, and implement changes in their efforts to deter financial fraud. This webcast will provide you with actionable recommendations for steps you can take in your company.
Learning Objectives: Provide perspective on how leading companies execute their ethical framework, tools they use to evaluate effectiveness, and what they do to consistently reinforce how serious they are about doing the right thing for the right reasons.
