Casper Westerink1The global financial system plays a critical role in facilitating commerce, enabling investments, and fostering economic development. However, its vast and intricate networks are also susceptible to misuse by criminals. Over the years, cases such as the Panama Papers, the Danske Bank scandal, and the financing of terrorism through informal networks have underscored the need for robust financial oversight.

E. Karssing1In de bedrijfsethiek is een groot aantal boeken en artikelen verschenen waarin op praktische wijze prangende vraagstukken worden behandeld en concrete aanbevelingen worden gedaan voor het bevorderen van de ethiek en integriteit van organisaties en hun medewerkers.
