Internal Audit’s Role in Unlocking Culture as a Corporate Catalyst

Internal Audit’s Role in Unlocking Culture as a Corporate Catalyst

Description

For too many years now, we have witnessed untold numbers of self-inflicted failures at organizations around the world. These failures have devastating impacts on employees, investors, customers, suppliers, and communities. One critical common denominator of all these disastrous collapses is a troubled culture that lacks the executive leadership and constructive environment essential to an organization achieving its business goals in a healthy and ethical manner. Based on recent research by Richard Chambers and Cynthia Cooper, this webinar seeks to answer a key question: What role can internal audit leaders play in helping to foster a healthier and more cohesive culture within their organizations?
