Most successful businesses clearly understand the importance of good financial oversight and accountability.<\/p>\n<p>The Canadian Senate scandal has highlighted the hugely negative impact that oversight failures cause to an organization&#8217;s reputation.\u00a0 Justice Binnie recently released his report on Senate expenses. \u00a0CBC reported that some Senators told Justice Binnie that &#8220;they did not know the rules&#8221;. \u00a0Justice Binnie&#8217;s found that for the most part the rules were clear, but decades of working around them had become the norm rather than the exception.<\/p>\n<p>Situations like the Senate scandal most often lead organizations or government to resort to putting extreme measures in place that often\u00a0 send a message \u00a0&#8220;we don&#8217;t trust you&#8221; as they compensate with overkill measures.\u00a0 It was not the rules that were the problem as they were pretty straight forward.\u00a0 What was missing was effective and consistent oversight.<\/p>\n<p>We can&#8217;t legislate an expectation of good common sense and decency; however Canadians are a trusting group who do believe that people are basically trusting and trustworthy which I believe is true.\u00a0 For boards of directors, please don&#8217;t panic.\u00a0 Build good governance, hire skilled and competent Executive Directors, ensure there are effective oversight measures in place and evaluate on a regular basis.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t<div class='author-shortcodes'>\n\t\t\t<div class='author-inner'>\n\t\t\t\t<div class='author-image'>\n\t\t\t<img src='https:\/\/localhost\/osborne\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/SusanBihun.jpg' alt='' \/>\n\t\t\t<div class='author-overlay'><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<div class='author-info'>\n\t\t\tSusan Bihun<\/p>\n<p>NFP\u00a0Governance &amp;\u00a0Management\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><!-- Google Code for Remarketing Tag --><br \/>\n<!--------------------------------------------------\nRemarketing tags may not be associated with personally identifiable information or placed on pages related to sensitive categories.
