Corporate Ethics and the CFO - US perspective
This report is part of a multinational survey of corporate ethics carried out in South-East Asia, Europe and the US. They are considered the first such studies on how CFOs approach business ethics across major markets.
Across all markets companies report a higher emphasis on ethics than five years ago.
Two key findings: US companies lead their counterparts in devising and implementing specific policies, and top financially-performing companies are far more likely to report an excellent ethical climate.
