Transparency & Confidentiality: Creating an Ethics Office Annual Report

Joan Elise Dubinsky, Chief Ethics Officer, International Monetary Fund

Transparency and confidentiality are not an "either/or" proposition. You can promote the activities and results of your ethics office--openly, transparently, and without breaching promises of confidentiality--by generating a comprehensive annual report. In this hands-on workshop, you will learn how to create an annual report by:

  • developing key messages
  • selecting data that tells a story
  • focusing on results

An annual report should reflect your voice and ethical leadership. It is a powerful tool you can employ to make recommendations to enhance your program, and more importantly, an annual report is an excellent way to highlight the accomplishments of your ethics and compliance program to a broad group of interested stakeholders.
