Business ethics, risk and compliance forum

Poor ethics and a lack of a sound fraud prevention strategy have a significantly negative impact on the professional service delivery, reputation and ultimately, the long term profitability of an organisation.

The new King 3 Code on Corporate Governance has elevated the role of internal audit to a risk-centric function. King 3 also recommends the adoption of an ethics management programme in order to build a culture of integrity and to promote ethical business practices.
