Assign clear ownership for each element of compliance and integrity culture across the functions involved.
Building a Culture of Compliance and Integrity Across All Organisational Levels
Learn to design, measure and defend your organisation's approach to compliance and integrity culture.
Course Overview
Models supporting compliance and integrity culture fail quietly, and usually at the worst moment. The audit trail behind integrity culture matters as much as the decision itself. It suits anyone whose decisions touch this aspect of financial and banking practice, in large organisations and small ones alike. Benchmarking exercises repeatedly place compliance and integrity culture among the areas with the widest performance spread. The programme is built to be used, and every section of the practice within financial and banking practice it covers ends in something applicable. Improvement in integrity culture stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. Participants gain a realistic view of what compliance and integrity culture costs and what it returns. The method assumes participants will be challenged on their handling of integrity culture and prepares them for it. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to the financial and banking practice discipline that would make a visible difference.
