Your misconduct mitigation may not be as effective as you think. In today's organizations, 59% of observed misconduct is never reported by employees. Even more alarming is that only 14% of potential misconduct information will make its way to the compliance department.

Business Misconduct
“Culture must last beyond individual leadership changes and be a part of how we conduct business.”
Robert Miromonti, VP
Ethics & Compliance,
Centene Corporation
Misconduct is happening, much of it goes unreported, and it is too costly to ignore:
- $11.5M for a single FCPA violation
- $3.4M for a single data privacy breach
- 5% of annual revenue for a single instance of fraud
Hotlines and policies are clearly not working. So why don't employees take their reporting responsibility more seriously? There are two primary reasons: Fear of retaliation and inaction by the company.
Focus on a Strong Culture
Organizations with stronger ethical cultures see fewer instances of misconduct and higher reporting rates. The best companies take the following actions to build a culture of integrity:
- Conduct a stand-alone cultural assessment to determine where perceptions of culture vary at a company
- Create escalation criteria to expand employee awareness of what constitutes misconduct and increases reporting rates
- Ensure the managers understand the business case for demonstrating ethical behaviors in their daily work and are prepared to respond to employees’ concerns and reports of misconduct
