Earn Your Ethics CPE in One Session
What is the role of the auditor when it comes to ethics in organizations? Ethical decision-making isn't always straightforward, even for auditors. It's imperative that auditors promote strong ethics, but what happens when auditors encounter the dark side of ethics themselves?
Join us as we explore the auditor's role in ethics, practical strategies to promote strong ethical standards, and what it means to be the ethical light within your organization.
This session fulfills your full 2 hours of required ethics CPE for the year, and connects you with internal auditors from across the country for shared learning and discussion.
