CRISIS MANAGEMENT IN CORRUPTION ALLEGATIONS OR ACCUSATIONS OUTLINE

OUTLINE

News that your company is involved in corrupt activities will make national and international headlines. The slightest suspicion of a criminal act gives rise to damaging questions from a public increasingly concerned with business ethics, and is sometimes deliberately exploited by competitors to compound the situation. It is, therefore, essential that companies know how to respond with rigor and coherence to ethical standards. Managing such a crisis within your organization is not straight forward: to delay can be regarded as an acceptance of culpability, whilst an early reaction may be interpreted as a whitewash or dismissing public concern. Since a mishandled allegation can ruin your company’s reputation, managing a crisis with integrity must form part of your company’s core compliance and communication strategy. This advanced one day training session entitled “Crisis management Communication: Responding to corruption allegations” covers both structured learning and role play inspired by actual cases giving the participants an opportunity to understand the specific nature of crisis management associated with corruption allegations, to fully understand the dangers and to identify the best ways in which to react.
