Topic: Ethics and Governance

Order Description

This is the topic for this essay and the question for the essay

Ethics and Governance
The ANZ Banking Corporation has strongly stated governance, and corporate ethics/code of conduct expectations, and espoused practices to which all managers and staff are required to be signatories.
But in early 2014 there was a great deal of media coverage and criticism about ANZ’s ethical and corporate social responsibilities in relation to controversial Cambodian sugar plantation loans, and the financial support of corporations whose practices dispossess and undermine local and historical tenants in other countries.
What does this sort of example say about the reality of ANZ’s (and the banking industry’s) actual ethical and CSR practices in their judgments about who they lend to? And what ethical and CSR issues their lending oversights should address? What is, or should be, the manager’s role in this?

Initially requires you to collate the presented case material, and then further build the case study material, from the basics provided, using your chosen management topic as the expander of the theory, or practice, or an issue in management, that you wish to explore in relation to this ANZ Banking Corporation case study, and or the banking industry itself. (Critics must be fully references)
