Module 1: seminar on integrity, transparency and accountability towards SDG in Zurich

The LIST 2023 programme started the training with the Seminar on Integrity, Transparency, and Accountability towards SDG at the University of Applied Science of the Grisons, Zurich. With the theme of synergizing digitalization, integrity, and sustainability in enhancing visibility, the key components of this comprehensive training programme are to provoke ethics and compliance behaviour through training and workplace experiences. a All employees in an organisation should receive integrity training, including new hires, managers, and executives. Training should be provided on regular basis, such as annually or bi-annually, to reinforce ethical behaviour and ensure employees are up-to-date on the organisation's policies and procedures. Common ethical dilemmas or challenges faced by employees may include conflict of interests, bribery and corruption, discrimination, and data privacy. Integrity training can help address these challenges by providing employees with the tools and frameworks for making ethical decisions, reinforcing the importance of reporting any concerns, and hig hlig hting the potential consequences of unethical behaviour. Prof. Dr. Jamaliah Said, Director of Accounting Research Institute (ARI), Universiti Teknologi MARA, Malaysia, welcomed all participants and delegates in attending the seminar. Prof. Dr. Jamaliah emphasised on the critical aspect of integrity among leaders. The seminar then proceeded with the Prof. Dr. Christian Hauser session.
