Ethics in the Finance Industry

Paper Summary:

This paper examines the growing interest on the part of employees of working for ethical businesses. The paper first defines ethics; it then deciphers the differences between ethics and moral values, identifies the author's own personal ethics and how he came to arrive at those ethics, and then explores the implications of ethics in his decision-making processes.

From the Paper:

"I work under two major codes of personal ethics, and many times they intersect with one another. I have a professional code and a family code. My codes are not an optional extra like the electric windows on my car. Practicing those ethics is not something I would do if there were no other burning matters. It is the way I try to do everything. Ethics are a necessity, not a luxury. My ethics are rooted in my upbringing and my religion. From a very young age, I learned about the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church, and from that I was able to decipher the differences between right and wrong based on those teachings. This lent itself to the establishment of my personal code of ethics. Things like lying, cheating, stealing, and respect for my parents, friends and family are included in that code."
