In this course we are exploring legal and ethical risk factors critical for business decision making. Case studies reveal that these risks shadow all aspects of business. In terms of operational risk, the exposure can arise from inadequate or failed internal controls, processes and systems and human malfeasance causing breakdowns in daily business activities (Segal, 2025). The Week 5 Lesson presented a broad range of potential legal and ethical operational risks carrying tort and criminal exposure for business in today's global environment. These include such threats to business operations as cyber-crime, terrorism, and fraud. For example, Enron is a testament to the failure of internal controls and ethical leadership. Contracts, legal and regulatory compliance are other areas of potential risks for unwary leadership.

FOR THIS DISCUSSION:

Identify a specific legal or ethical (or combination) operational risk that you see to be a compelling concern for a business today and propose a best practice that in your opinion a business can utilize to effectively prevent or mitigate that risk.

In your initial post explain (with an example): 

· the specific legal or ethical risk, 

· the best practice, and

· how you would implement the practice
