IBM Ethics Program Monitoring As Thesis
However, this scrutiny extends to intense self-monitoring on the part of the corporation as a whole. According to its mission statement, it is "IBM's practice to voluntarily and promptly disclose known violations of government procurement laws to appropriate officials of government. In the event that IBM benefited economically from such known violations, it is our practice to reimburse the government customer accordingly" ("Business Conduct and Ethics," 2008, IBM.). In other words, IBM does not simply strive to uphold the law and ensure that violators within the company are punished. It also submits itself to intense self-scrutiny and self-monitoring, is committed to transparency in regards to violations and will go above and beyond the law even in the absence of a conviction to ensure that customers are treated fairly.
