Regulators, research and even royal commissions recognize the relevance and value of organisational culture in promoting positive corporate conduct. But what exactly is ‘culture’ and how does it affect the conduct of those in organisations? ‘Ethics’ and ‘culture’ are often joined in the same sentence, yet again, the relationship between them is not well understood. Corporate governance failures have drawn attention to the limits of regulation and law but also to the importance of culture and ethics in the acceptance of or resistance to, regulation. Come and hear from experts who have researched the culture and published about ethics. Also hear from experts who have long careers in thinking about the relationship of culture and ethics with law and regulation and how all three are best captured in practical corporate governance.
