Building and maintaining an ethical corporate culture is a growing imperative in today's business climate. So what are leading corporations doing to manage and reduce their risk of serious ethics and compliance ("E&C") failures?
To answer this question, Integrity Interactive (in partnership with Client Insight LLC, an independent market research fi rm) surveyed corporate legal and compliance executives, to better understand current attitudes, expectations, and best-practices in the area of E&C risk management. Integrity's study focused on the following topics:
- Which E&C-related activities are considered "strategic" at the enterprise level?
- What forces drive current demand for E&C programs and services?
- Where do top-level E&C executives report in the corporate hierarchy?
- How are E&C program decisions made, and who gets involved?
- How broadly (or narrowly) do companies defi ne the scope of their E&C programs?
- How much do companies budget annually for E&C programs and services?
- How do companies determine and assess their level of E&C risk?
