Abstract:
Ethics and compliance are the different sides of the same coin, and the distinction between both terms are often overlooked and considered insignificant by companies. Thus, the difference between the two is as an integral component for the overall culture of businesses. Focusing more in one area can lead to possible risks and challenges to the company. To be able to manage the risks posed by employee and third party misconduct and to deal with potential violations, it is essential for companies to have an effective compliance and ethics program
