I conduct multiple lecture sessions on Ethical values and how the best compliance methodologies help businesses and families. Ethical values and being compliant is a daily habit for all walks of life, whether business community or a family entity. Most of my lectures are centred around the five or six basic compliance elements that are industry defined and can be tailored to assist organizations in developing an effective compliance and ethics program.

While the cost and the time involved may seem daunting, the cost of not having an effective compliance and ethics program could be much higher. Compliance is not cheap, and it does not come free of service. An effective compliance and ethics program is a sound investment.

These standards should not be just a “paper only” document, but a living document that promotes organizational culture and encourages ethical conduct and a commitment to compliance with applicable regulations and laws.

Experts say that the only thing worse than not having a policy is having a policy and not following it.

Ethics and Compliance policies and procedures, an integral part of any organisation that is committed to upholding excellence, transparency, and high ethical standards, ensuring each decision and action is rooted in its core values, integrity, and strategic stewardship.
