SESSION 7 – Ethics & Compliance Magazine Roundtable: “What Can Really Deliver an Ethics & Compliance Professional?”
The general attitude towards Ethics & Compliance function ranges from total rejection and skepticism to illusory hopes. In many cases, the pros and cons are based on personal intuitions and not on a systematic, scientific approach of the field. Because of these issues, the current debate on Ethics & Compliance is in its infancy. And not only in Europe. Actually, there is a fundamental schism, a hiatus between the academics interested in the field and the professionals from companies and other types of organisations. To this, we should add the fact that the number of Ethics & Compliance professionals is low in comparison with the market requesting their services.
This roundtable is meant to act as a platform for a consistent dialogue on the role of the Ethics & Compliance professionals in their organisations and also in terms of public policy relevant to their work. The roundtable is initiated under the auspices of the European Ethics & Compliance Association and the “Ethics & Compliance Magazine”.
