Seminar Outline

With the introduction of the new whistleblower act, many organizations are seeing codes of ethics and internal disclosure mechanisms (IDMs) as part of broader, organization-wide integrity management frameworks. However, experience from the private sector strongly indicates that merely having these instruments in place can do little to prevent or detect unethical or illegal behavior within organizations and, in certain circumstances, can actually be counterproductive.

This 90 minutes workshop provide corporate directors and senior executives valuable insights to how they should determine the adequacy of these mechanisms and uncovers the significant legal, reputation, ethical, business and financial risks in dealing with corporate governance
