This paper examines business ethics by discussing its emphasis in modern corporations and defining the methods corporations use to deter internal fraud. The writer discusses that corporations are realizing ethical leadership, codes of ethics, as well as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX), and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) are all relevant in combating ethics violations.

From the Paper:
"If in fact practicing business ethics was a natural human condition and the solution to internal corporate fraud; modern corporations would not need to place a high emphasis on business ethics. The fact is; some past corporations appeared to fail the importance of understanding the practice of business ethics; or they blatantly disregarded complying with ethics regulations. In some cases only a few individuals committed ethics violations yet their fellow employees and entire corporations were destroyed. According to Mallor we all make mistakes, unfortunately, corporate mistakes are on a much larger scale and affect many others. Today's corporations realize practicing good ethics is as important in our professional lives as our personal lives, and are placing a great emphasis on ethics training. It is unfortunate that corporate fraud created the need for ethics training to become a staple in today's human resource training, however; due to recent corporate scandals, corporations want their leaders understanding, practicing, and training business ethics.
