Protecting Your Organization from a Destructive Culture (Video) (Course Id 1268)

Auditing - Auditing for Course Id 1268

The business and political climates today are filled with bad news regarding the breakdown of integrity in individual and group behavior. These escalating cultural breakdowns have a strong negative impact on CFO’s, CEOs, internal auditors, managers, and CPAS in public practice. This course will provide the participant with the new skills necessary to help management/clients combat the “non-compliant culture.” Topics include the development of a “positive culture” of integrity; the impact of the control environment on culture and fraud; effective communication of expectations to employees; and dealing with the worst case scenarios that can damage the reputation of any company or firm and also destroy employee morale.
