1. If you need a rubber band or paperclip and do not have time to pick-up a pack on your way home from work, would it be acceptable to "borrow" it (expecting never to return it)?

Too often, companies don't want to consider the thought of someone on their team stealing from the company. They believe that by creating a ultra-team-oriented environment with a strong set of values, employees would think twice before stealing. Let's not be naive in thinking that it cannot happen to us; especially when we are on watch. Instead, keep your focus on mitigating risk at all times. You owe it to your client.

Have you ever been blindsided by a co-worker who you thought could be trusted?

2. What recommendations can an auditor make in the Audit Report to help the Client improve the flow of communication at the workplace?

Remember the Hawthorne Light Studies?

What are some other benefits of self-discovery?
