title: Ethics, morals, and integrity: focus at the top.
abstract: Five questions provide a good starting point for CFOs to verify that their organizations are operating ethically: Do we have clearly outlined policies and procedures in place? How frequently does our board's membership change? Do we consistently give our board enough information to make informed decisions? What is the nature of our internal audit function? Do we have a chief compliance officer?
