Covid-19 has brought in unprecedented times for business and
community alike. The pandemic has not only created uncertainty but
also impacted the beliefs and the way business moves. Workplace

to short term turbulence caused by the pandemic. However, the
investigation of reported cases will continue to be a priority of
ethics and compliance officers.
