Corporate Governance and Ethics
Under Sarbanes-Oxley, the requirements for board oversight and direct access to information regarding employee disclosures of potential financial misstatements requires organizations’ governance programs to independently address ethics – undisputably a central role in a strong corporate governance program. In addition, Chapter 8 of the Federal Sentencing Guidelines requires a culture that encourages ethical conduct and a commitment to legal compliance. But knowing how to implement such a culture at your own organization can be an overwhelming undertaking.
EKS&H helps clients develop and maintain an effective corporate governance and ethics program by performing services such as:
- Establishing policies that create a culture that discourages unethical behavior, develops a tone at the top and mandates clear and consistent consequences for those who commit fraud
- Training employees regarding their responsibilities concerning ethics
- Aligning financial, compliance and operational employee responsibilities to board and committee responsibilities
- Providing structured guidance to C-level employees and board members and committees of their Internal Control over Financial Reporting ethical roles, certification and documentation requirements.
- Internal Audit Advisory Services, including enterprise risk management programs; risk-based, integrated audits and more
- Information Technology (IT) Audit and Governance Advisory Services
- Fraud Advisory Services
- Creating whistleblower hotlines
Clients who use EKS&H's Corporate Governance and Ethics Services enjoy many benefits, including:
- Reassurance to company stakeholders of the organization's commitment to compliance and ethics
