Discuss CIPS L3M1 Exam Topic 4 Question 46

The system by which organisations are directed and controlled, thinking about business ethics and stakeholder responsibility, and where Directors may be held to account, is called:

ACorporate Identity

BCorporate Social Responsibility

CCorporate Manslaughter

DCorporate Governance

Suggested Answer: D

Corporate Governance. Not to be confused with CSR.

Corporate identity relates to marketing and branding; corporate manslaughter is the concept of an organisation being criminally accountable for the deaths of humans through some lack of care. An example might be the deaths of rail company employees on the railway track, where the prosecution would attempt to show that it was the employers' fault.

Makes sense. I’ll go with D too.

Right! That's why D is the best choice.

Plus, it involves ethics and stakeholder interests.

Good point. Governance covers that aspect.

Verlene 3 months ago

Exactly! Directors need to be held accountable.

Huey 3 months ago

True, but governance is more about accountability.

But what about B) Corporate Social Responsibility? It’s important too!

I agree, Alex. It's all about how companies are managed.

I think it's D) Corporate Governance. It fits the description well.

Really? I always thought it was something else entirely!

Wait, isn't it more about social responsibility?

It's definitely D) Corporate Governance.

I’m not confident, but I think Corporate Manslaughter is about legal issues, not governance. I guess I’ll go with D) Corporate Governance as well.

Deangelo 7 months ago

I feel like Corporate Identity could be a trick option here, but it doesn’t really fit the question. I’m leaning towards D) Corporate Governance too.

Rhea 7 months ago

I remember discussing Corporate Social Responsibility, but that seems more about ethics than governance. I think it’s D) Corporate Governance.

Tamra 7 months ago

I think the answer might be D) Corporate Governance, but I'm not entirely sure. We covered it in class, but I get confused with the terms sometimes.
