A healthy corporate culture differentiates an organisation and impacts customers, financial performance, growth, reputation, recruitment, and retention.
An unhealthy or sub-optimal culture impacts all these categories. At its worst it is a critical risk to the attainment of the organisation’s aims and objectives and the sustainability of the organisation in the longer term.
A joint research report by the Chartered Institute of Internal Auditors and AuditBoard, Cultivating a healthy culture: Why internal audit and boards must take corporate culture more seriously in a post-Covid world, uncovers a gap in boards’ and internal audit functions’ approach to organisational culture risks. Urgent action is required to cultivate a healthy corporate culture to protect value, reputation, and long-term sustainability.
