A number of high-profile incidents over the past decade have brought unprecedented scrutiny to the way companies police themselves. Regulators, shareholders and the general public are demanding that organizations set up policies and procedures to ensure organization-wide cultures of candour and openness with all stakeholders.
Good corporate governance requires organizations to combine solid legal understanding, sound ethical judgment and business practicality. The consequences of ineffective corporate governance can expose officers and directors to regulatory review, and potential lawsuits.
