COMPLIANCE MANAGEMENT:

Addressing conflicts of interests in your organisation

Think of an example of an ethical failure in an organisation that you may have come across in the news, blogs, or journal articles. Alternatively, conduct some research on ethical failures. Share your example with your peers, and discuss how a greater appreciation for ethics could have prevented this ethical failure:

QUESTIONS BELOW:

1) What kind of behaviour resulted in the ethical failure?

2) What kinds of tension or conflicts manifested as a result of the ethical failure?

3) As a compliance officer, do you feel that you would be able to hold the stakeholders accountable for the ethical failure, even in the case where it was technically not a breach of legislation?
