A New Focus on Corporate Culture: How to Assess Culture and Why

Leaders take seriously setting the right tone at the top of their organizations. Stakeholders who have a role in the financial reporting ecosystem may be focused on compliance violations or internal audit findings and may not be focused on what the results tell them about the organization’s culture of ethics and compliance. A culture assessment allows for early detection of warning signs and provides various stakeholders an opportunity to take action.

Recorded in December 2019, this Anti-Fraud Collaboration webcast highlights leading practices that bring together qualitative and quantitative data that exist within an organization, coupled with key information that companies should collect and monitor to contribute to a robust culture assessment. Gain insights into:

• Defining culture
• Evaluating and assessing culture
• Determining actionable steps to implement that can strengthen a culture of ethics and compliance
• Understanding key oversight responsibilities of financial reporting supply chain members in assessing corporate culture
