IN CLOSING

• The importance of corporate culture is garnering an
unprecedented amount of media and organizational
attention, and yet, there has not been an equal
amount of introspection or root cause analysis as to
what has led to some of the more noteworthy fraud
and misconduct cases occurring in the last year.
• Understanding the interplay between fraud,
corruption and corporate culture — and the controls
necessary to mitigate ethical failures — can
accelerate efforts to affect positive organizational
change and process improvements.
• In today’s business environment, executives need to
ask themselves one question:
Do we want to be viewed as leaders of
ethical business practices or are we willing
to risk being the latest headline involving a
toxic culture that ultimately results in
embarrassing — and costly — fraud and
misconduct?
