It has been a busy time for ethics and integrity news in recent months: executives going to jail, companies receiving massive fines and penalties, CEOs being dismissed or stepping down, and class action lawsuits. But perhaps the unlikeliest ethics scandal is the cheating allegation that rocked the 2024 World Conkers Championship. In his editorial from the upcoming Fall issue of Ethisphere Magazine, Editor in Chief Bill Coffin explains how even in a world as small and insular as that of competitive conkers (what *is* conkers, anyway?), conflicts of interest and speak-up culture matter just as much as they do at any Fortune 500 organization. Why? Because no matter what the stakes, ethics is everything.

TD Bank, the 10th largest bank in the U.S., has pleaded guilty to conspiring to fail to monitor financial transactions, which led to narcotics traffickers laundering some $670 million in illegal earnings through the bank. To quote U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland, “by making its services convenient for criminals, TD Bank became one.” For this, TD Bank will pay a combined $3 billion in fines and penalties. It will also retain an independent compliance monitor for three years, remediate and enhance its AML compliance program, operate under a $434 billion asset cap, and face stricter regulation within the U.S. Ethisphere Chief Strategy Officer Erica Salmon Byrne explains how things got this way for TD Bank, and more importantly, what organizations can learn from it.
