1. Does your organization address ethical issues in a formal, systematic way? How has the organization customized an ethical culture to match its unique needs?
2. To the best of your ability, use Figure 5.1 and the questions in Tables 5.1 and 5.2 to conduct an ethics audit of the formal and informal systems in your organization.
3. Having conducted the ethics audit, identify the formal and informal systems that are in need of attention. Where is the culture out of alignment (if it is)? Design a change program to address weaknesses and to align formal and informal systems into a strong ethical culture.
4. How would you change the culture audit questions if you were planning to use them to conduct an ethics culture audit of a firm you were considering joining?
