Governance, risk and ethics

This is an introductory page for the related subjects of risk, governance and ethics.

Governance is major issue for the directors and managers of many organisations. Its main areas of focus are on ensuring that companies are directed and controlled properly and that directors act on behalf on their shareholders.

However, any discussion of running companies "properly" soon enters the realm of ethics and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).

A number of high profile corporate failures have highlighted that a key part of running a business lies in controlling risk. Part of the solution to this lies in having an adequate system of internal controls, including internal audit.
