The chief financial officer must be the most ethical person in his or her company.  Each stakeholder of a company – employee, investor, management, customers, suppliers, and the greater community – relies on the CFO for integrity and transparency. As such, it is not surprising that the CFOs are more likely than other employees to face ethical dilemmas in the course of executing their responsibilities.

Join us at The 2018 CFO Leadership Conference, May 9-10, 2018, for a session on Ethics & Integrity in Leadership, presented by Jill Brown, Ph.D., Harold S. Geneen Research Professor of Corporate Governance, Bentley University.

During this lively conversation, we’ll dive into the slippery slope that CFOs face on a daily basis, and practical methods to navigate flawlessly while leading with ethics and integrity in the forefront.

We encourage you to read a few of the articles that Professor Brown has published in this area, including:

• “So Investors Care About Director Tenure?” (Organization Science, April 2017)
• The United Nations Global Compact: Engaging Implicit and Explicit CSR for Global Governance (Journal of Business Ethics, February 2018)
• Moral Salience and the Role of Goodwill in Firm-Stakeholder Trust Repair (Business Ethics Quarterly, April 2016)
