More than ever, the intensifying severity and frequency of new risks worldwide have heightened the focus of Ethics and Compliance (E&C) programs on risk mitigation efforts. LRN’s 2024 Ethics & Compliance Program Effectiveness Report presents comprehensive global data and insights from over 1,400 E&C professionals to underscore this trend. Our research emphasizes the effectiveness of values-based programs, which correlate strongly with reduced risk and improved business outcomes. Given this increasingly complex risk landscape, how are E&C programs in the Asia Pacific region, particularly in Singapore, adapting? Furthermore, what do these global best practices entail for programs in this region in their day-to-day operations?
In this episode of the Principled Podcast, Eric Morehead, LRN’s Director of Advisory Services Solutions, discusses the key insights from the Singapore edition of the 2024 Ethics & Compliance Program Effectiveness Report with Jarrod Baker, Partner at Deloitte Southeast Asia, exploring their implications for regional programs.
