Ethics and Conflicts of Interest: why boards should care about an ethical work culture
Description
Ethics underpins good corporate governance. Ethical behaviour, as witnessed by numerous corporate scandals, will not manage itself and directors and managers need clear guidance when dealing with ethical dilemmas. This course seeks to help directors and boards understand that they have a key role in setting the appropriate tone and developing strategies and policies to embed ethical behaviour to assist in developing the governance and management frameworks to succeed.
