The broadcast media have been awash in stories about company Christmas parties and the career risks for attendees who drink too much or who otherwise misbehave

We asked the CEOs and business leaders on the COMPAS panel for their observations.

The vast majority have seen very little misconduct of any kind. A small number of panelists report that their organizations are nonetheless sufficiently concerned that they developed written codes of conduct. Meanwhile others volunteer that any company that needs a written code suffers from a weak shared culture.

These are the key findings from the current web-survey of the panel of CEOs and business leaders undertaken for the Canadian Business under sponsorship of BDO Dunwoody LLP.
