Aligning Corporate Views of Risks, Ethics and Compliance

Companies like to think that everyone in their organization shares the same views about risk, ethics and compliance, but unfortunately, the evidence suggests otherwise. According to a recent Benchmark of Ethical Culture Report by ethics and compliance specialist LRN Corporation, nearly a quarter (23%) of employees around the world thought it was acceptable to break the rules to get the job done. Worse still, some 14% admitted they had “engaged in behavior that violated their company’s code of conduct or standards” in the past year.
