The Post Office Scandal: Implications for Management, Leadership, and Governance

Many have become more aware of the Post Office (PO) scandal because of the screening of the docudrama Mr Bates vs The Post Office in 2024 (ITV, 2024) and coverage of the recent Public Inquiry (Post Office Horizon IT Inquiry, 2024). However, there are also now several publications concerning the case which highlight key failures in governance, leadership and management that can be addressed. This working paper reviews the case from documented sources and applies critical insight to understand the case from the perspective of both business ethics and organisational behaviour. The author is a former Manager of Ethics and Responsible Business Practices for a global professional services firm, and the co-author of the Economist book, Business Ethics (Moon and Bonny, 2001). The paper highlights the need to build ethical and responsible decision-making cultures from the top down. However, setting the ‘tone at the top’ is no longer a useful paradigm. Too often senior leaders’ distance themselves from the actual running of the enterprise to be fully aware of potential risks that need to be managed. In the case of the PO, key learning points are highlighted in this regard with reference to the work of the investigative journalist Nick Wallis (2021, 2022) and other key authors.
