Len Brooks, Professor of Business Ethics & Accounting, University of Toronto

How do you ensure that your corporate culture is a strong one?  Are your employees given the tools they need to make ethical decisions and uphold your company’s values?  Are your risk management and fraud prevention programs up-to-date?  Building on a recently published study, Ethics & Governance: Developing & Maintaining an Ethical Corporate Culture, this informative session will go over the latest tools for developing frameworks to identify ethics risks and pitfalls and empower ethical decision making.  Key success factors in developing this framework will be discussed including:

• roles for directors and corporate leaders,
• picking the right values to stress,
• key program elements to include,
• scorecards to measure effectiveness, and
• checklists for guidance.

Aimed at those who want to know more about walking the tightrope to success, this session will go well beyond compliance to develop positive ethics value-added.
