Compliance & Ethics

Auditing Culture and Ethical Values in an
Organization

CE-109 16

CPEs

What is culture? Culture is an organization’s personality, “How
we do things around here” or “The Company way”. Culture is
the most significant driver for ethical, or unethical, behavior in
an organization. Auditing culture and ethical values can be diffi-
cult. The topics are sensitive and can be highly ambiguous and
subjective. Recent high-profile corporate scandals involving ethics
failures can be tied to cultures that drive behavior by encourag-
ing, allowing or ignoring the bad behaviors. There is a need to
audit culture and ethical values in today’s high-pressure business
environment. This course looks at ways to audit culture and
ethics in organizations today.
