Commonwealth Bank of Australia- Shifting Focus towards Stakeholders
Executive summary
Business ethics is a vital component of every organisation. A business that doesn’t value ethics is bound to fail in the long term. This is because a business is not driven by profits only instead it is driven by the various stakeholders that facilitate i
ts effective running. Commonwealth Bank of Australia has clearly violated business ethics by practicing various breaches that has violated the trust of its stakeholders.
In order to rectify this situation, Commonwealth Bank of Australia needs to revise its policies based on the Stakeholders theory and create a clear and transparent policy of ethics. This will ensure that the company keeps running smoothly. It will also ensure that can regain the trust of its stakeholders and make a strong comeback.
Introduction
Ethics refers to the moral values of a company. In today’s competitive market it is important for every company to adopt a transparent policy regarding its ethics in order to gain the trust of its customers, investors, community and other parties affecting it’s working. An ethical organization is the only one that can last long in today’s competitive market since it enjoys support from multiple parties instead of relying just on profit. Adopting unethical behaviour may lead to temporary benefits but in the long run, it is bound to fail since the parties affecting it will lose trust and eventually disrupt its working.
Commonwealth Bank of Australia has demonstrated various unethical practices during the course of its working and as a result is bound to face consequences. Some of these consequences have already appeared in the form of various legal cases the company has been involved in. It is thus necessary for it to make an ethical comeback in order to gain its market.
Summary of scenario
Commonwealth Bank of Australia has been a leading bank in Australia. However, its practices has led to various allegations of unethical behaviour involving monetary scandals. The bank has incurred around $700 million in fine due to an allegation of money laundering. It was also accused of having suspicious deposits, accounts and several shady exchanges.
Other accusations against Commonwealth Bank of Australia included failure of filing over 53000 reports of more than $10000 in ATM’s and breaches “including that millions of dollars were laundered through its ATMs by criminals including drug and firearms importers” (Yeates, 2018).
Such an open and apparent manifestation of fraud and deceptive behaviour has had a detrimental effect on the image of Commonwealth Bank of Australia. It not only led to controversies that led to employees losing jobs, it also made the bank lose trust of loyal customers. In short almost all stake holders have suffered a blow due to Commonwealth bank’s irresponsible and corruptive behaviour.
In the light of the current situation faced by Commonwealth Bank of Australia, it is imperative that necessary action be taken to restore the goodwill and trust of its stake holders. It is worth the effort to employ the Stakeholders theory to Commonwealths scenario and deduce the necessary action that can be taken in order to rectify the current critical situation that the Bank faces.
