Anthony's Story

A few months ago, I received an unexpected notice – a random ethics compliance audit was scheduled for my firm by our state. The letter, much like the stop sign at the end of my street, was abrupt and impossible to ignore. Suddenly, I was facing the daunting task of proving my firm’s compliance to a third-party auditor, with no assurance of what they might find.

However, I’m thrilled to share with you that after undergoing the ethics audit, I received a report from the auditors confirming that I was in 100% compliance with the standards they were evaluating. It was a gratifying affirmation of the dedication and diligence my firm puts into maintaining the highest ethical standards.

It’s possible your business is facing a crisis. You can visualize a great outcome, but you just don’t know how to make it a reality. You’re afraid of what might happen if you do nothing… but what can you do?
