IRS - Integrity Management

'It is our conviction that the neglect of the risk which the human “factor” in organizations forms, can grow into a serious danger to the organization’s business continuity.'

IRS offers an Ethics & Business Integrity Accountability Framework

helps organizations which want to invest in their ethical business culture. Based on our clear and elaborated Ethics and Business Integrity Accountability Framework (EBIAF®) we are able to support organizations in the professional development and maturation of their integrity policy.

EBIAF® stems from integrity work in the World Bank in Washington and implementation of a tailor made EBIAF® programme within the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in New York is in progress. It is a product of valuable experience gathered in corporate as well as governmental organizations.

Through the EBIAF® method integrity and ethics management in the organization:

• Is approached in a multi-disciplinary way and throughout the whole organization
• Is coherency and interactivity between different essential components reached
• Are lessons learned from integrity issues used to strengthen the integrity policy
• Are preventive and reactive integrity solutions combined

Results are achieved on the following areas:

• Employees and managers express desired ethical behaviour more
• The self-cleaning ability with regard to future integrity issues increases
• Better control and understanding of the reputation risks of the organization
• Decrease of control costs
• The redundancy of whistle blower regulations
• The improvement of the work climate
• The increase of the organization’s credibility
• The creation of shareholders value and (public) trust
