Reporting to the Board: Strengthening the Board’s Oversight of Your E&C Program

What does strong board reporting look like, and why does it matter?

Even among companies with mature ethics and compliance programs, board reporting practices often fall short of what good governance demands. Reporting only once or twice a year, limited contact with the oversight committee chair, and absent executive sessions are all too common. These practices significantly reduce the Board’s ability to effectively oversee and ethics and compliance program.

In this webinar, Ethisphere’s senior experts Leslie Benton, SVP and Deputy General Counsel, and Jodie Fredericksen, J.D., Senior Compliance Counsel, VP of Data & Services, will share findings from recent Program Assessment work that revealed widespread gaps in board engagement. They will be joined by Allison Barlotta, Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer at Booz Allen Hamilton, to outline what great practices look like. From building trust with the oversight committee to knowing what to include and what to leave out, the session will explore the hallmarks of strong CECO–board relationships.

You’ll hear practical guidance on:

• Establishing regular and meaningful board reporting cadences
• Creating effective board presentation decks
• Preparing for and maximizing meetings with the oversight committee chair
• Conducting executive sessions to ensure open dialogue
• Involving team members in board presentations

Whether you’re evolving your approach or building from the ground up, this session offers a practical blueprint for effective board reporting, not just as a task, but as a critical component of having an effective ethics and compliance program.
