Article by CPA Canada on the "Canadian Ideal of Good Business"
As part of its campaign to promote the Canadian Ideal of Good Business, CPA Canada – the national organization supporting the Canadian accounting profession – recently profiled the work of José Hernandez, CEO of Ortus Strategies, to empower corporate ethical leadership.
“Hernandez, who worked on some of the biggest corruption cases in Germany, says ‘It’s about concentrating on leadership behaviour and making it operational. In Canada, we do have a sense of having a strong business structure, but it can lead to blind spots, naiveté, and not being aware of all the risks.’”
“‘Partnering with CPA Canada, we aim to bring in greater awareness in a global context of the risks that may face Canadian companies that we haven’t experienced before— and also how to be prepared for them.’”
The full article is available at CPA Canada’s website here. More updates about our ongoing work with CPA Canada promoting the Canadian Ideal of Good Business will be posted on our Resources page.
