A.
Compare the design of the organization's ethical programs with best practices.
B.
Verify that a code of conduct and related policies exist and are communicated.
C.
Use employee surveys to assess whether ethical programs are achieving desired outcomes.
D.
Compare the cost of the ethical programs with the achieved outcomes.
he board has asked the CAE to evaluate the effectiveness of ethical programs. Effectiveness focuses on whether the programs are achieving their intended results, such as influencing behavior, promoting ethical decision-making, and fostering a culture of integrity.
-Employee surveys directly measure perceptions, attitudes, and behavioral changes resulting from ethical programs.
-Surveys provide insight into the real-world impact of these programs, beyond their design or existence.
This approach aligns with evaluating effectiveness, not just program design or implementation.
