Description

Corporate culture plays a major role in how businesses operate, yet it is often misunderstood or ignored until problems arise. This session explains corporate culture in clear and practical terms, focusing on how behaviour, values, and leadership actions shape day-to-day decisions. Delegates will explore how culture influences ethics, internal controls, compliance, and risk, even when formal policies exist. The session highlights why strong policies fail in weak cultures and why good culture reduces professional and organisational risk. Designed for accountants, bookkeepers, and finance professionals, the session focuses on what culture looks like in real organisations and how professionals can recognise and respond to cultural warning signs. By the end of the session, delegates will better understand how culture affects their work and the businesses they serve.
