How Julie is building a better working world

“We are seeing a decline in efforts to maintain ethics in both small and large firms across the world. This puts employees in a confusing position when they find themselves in situations where there are shades of grey. I contribute to a better working world by tackling this decline in the necessity of ethics in the workplace. I help in bringing out and emphasizing the need to change the world’s attitude toward corporate fraud.”
