A recent study done at the University of Chicago by Prof. Curtis Verschoor and published in Management Accounting found that companies with a defined corporate commitment to ethical principles do better financially than companies that don’t make ethics a key management component. Public shaming of Nike’s sweatshop conditions and slave wages paid to overseas workers led to a 27% drop in its earnings several years ago. And recently, the shocking disregard of ethics and subsequent scandals led to financial disaster for Enron, Arthur Anderson, WorldCom, Global Crossing, and others.
All the officers who came from the four provinces found your day-long seminar as inspirational, informative and positive as to help imbibe into them an orientation for readiness for the change aimed at increasing individual and team capacity of the ECP officers for the efficiency and comprehensiveness in the discharge of their functions. Thanking you once again with the hope for having your program for other officers who could not have the opportunity.6
