4 NASBA CPE (2 x Behavioral Ethics, 2 x Auditing)

Where Ethics, Integrity, Skepticism & Audit Intersect
Challenges, Lessons & Actions for Us All - Presented by John Hall, CPA

In this interactive fast-paced session, we’ll build a bridge from organizational ethics proclamations to the reality of compliance audit results. We’ll keep theory to a minimum – because we already agree that ‘business ethics is good!’. Instead, we’ll focus on why far too many leaders and employees in business, government, education and not-for-profits stare ethics right in the eye – then do the wrong thing anyway.

Most important: we’ll address proven practical actions for audit professionals like you aimed at nudging, leading and outright mental shoving of organizational leaders to get serious about ethics, integrity, compliance and accountability – all tailored to your industry, organization and culture.

Learning Objectives

• Understand what works – and what doesn’t – in building and sustaining ethical business practices
• Explore relevant recent business ethics cases, red flags, successes and failures
• Examine how to add ethics risks to audit projects – without adding to time budgets or diluting the primary purpose of the projects
• Analyze the roles of belief, skepticism and even cynicism in audits
• Explore why the trend toward ‘truth elasticity’, ‘alternative facts’ and ‘it depends on the circumstances’ all undermine an ethics and integrity
• Understand why ‘tone in the middle’ outweighs ‘tone at the top’ – every day
• Understand the power of meaningful relevant ‘ethics skills training’ for every employee and business partner – and how every auditor can ‘train’ those we serve without compromising objectivity and independence
