Ethics in Business
Most companies realize that they need to develop and implement a business ethics and compliance program.
An effective program can:
• Establish a code of conduct that reduces risk of criminal behavior
• Detect wrongdoing, foster quick investigations, minimize consequences
• Demonstrate company’s ethical/legal philosophy during an investigation
• Reduce fines if company is found guilty of wrongdoing
• Enhance company reputation and stature
Looking at the Options
But how do you build an effective program? Companies find themselves with three options to build the program:
• Develop in-house from scratch
• Hire an external consultant
• Use a pre-written manual
And most of these companies learn a few lessons - sometimes the hard way.

• Step-by-step instructions for the development of a program
• A business ethics training program outline with classroom materials and a detailed session leader’s guide
• Business ethics and compliance officer position description
• Templates for employee involvement
• Sample code of conduct
