BUSINESS AND RISK MANAGEMENT, COMPLIANCE, INVESTIGATION AND CRISIS MANAGEMENT
Good corporate governance requires procedures and guidelines that govern the board’s and the general manager’s responsibilities regarding all aspects of the business, including ethics, compliance with laws and regulations and the handling of matters that may entail reputational risk.
Today, public and private enterprises are required to have systems in place that will prevent or uncover criticisable conditions. If unwanted acts are suspected, they must be addressed in a purposeful manner. Non-existing or non-compliant systems may result in loss of reputation, liability or corporate penalties. Furthermore, today’s significant focus on sustainability and corporate social responsibility leads to the expectation that businesses will act in accordance with the UN sustainable development goals.
