zEthics brings dynamic risk and operational intelligence to organizational stakeholders - empowering them to identify and thoughtfully address vulnerabilities to avoid being blind-sided by unintended risks, misconduct, or fraud. Organizational culture can be viewed as the center of the risk universe affecting every employee and the manner in which the organization transforms risk into reward.

Why Culture Must be a Focus

Culture is a profound driver of any organization - it determines the organization's ability to execute its mission and accomplish its strategic objectives. Leadership and organizational culture excellence are essential to operational and financial performance. The "tone at the top" shapes organizational culture and directly impacts the control environment.

zEthics is an innovative new tool that measures the integrity of the organizational culture, verifies the tone-at-the-top, and protects key stakeholders by providing an early warning against corruption, fraud, misconduct or unintended risks.

The zEthics organizational culture surveys and reports provide the organization the knowledge and power to validate and continually improve the integrity of the most important part of the internal control system - the people, which is the fundamental foundation for all Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) and Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC.)
