Course III: How to Know Your Ethics Programme is Working


Course III looks at the monitoring, assurance and reporting of ethical performance, and what to do when an ethics programme fails to work.
  • How can organisations be sure that they are living up to their ethical commitments and standards?
  • Who needs to know or be assured?
  • What does a successful programme look like?  
  • How should an ethical lapse be handled?

This course helps participants consider of:

  • Possible criteria and indicators for assessing ethical performance and the efficacy of an ethics programme
  • The mechanisms for gathering and monitoring data on ethical performance
  • Useful external tools and standards
  • How a board can assure itself that its ethics programme is working
  • Good practice for investigating and addressing ethical lapses

The programme is designed for:

  • Board members charged with the oversight of an ethics programme or assurance exercise.
  • Senior managers or executives looking to understand how ethical performance can be demonstrated to internal and external stakeholders
  • Ethics practitioners charged with monitoring ethical performance  
  • Other professionals, such as Internal Audit, looking to better understand non-financial performance and reporting

The focus of this course is on "how we can know that our ethics programme is working". It builds on IBE's Course II where participants gain an understanding of what makes an effective ethics programme, as well as Course I which explores the drivers and aims of an ethics programme. To benefit from Course III, we would advise that participants have an understanding of the above - gained either from attending those courses or through professional experience.

The programme is offered once a year at the IBE, 24 Greencoat Place, London SW1P 1BE.
