What makes ethics important?

Ethics matter because they guide the notion of what is right — a concept firmly ensconced in the directive to put client interests first. This directive is broad in scope and challenging to implement. Yet, putting client interest first is now a requirement of the client-focussed reforms adopted by the Canadian Securities Administrators. It cannot be ignored or sidelined.

This course will help you understand what ethics is and the many reasons ethics matter. You will read case studies and many practical applications of ethical principles. Finally, you will wrap up with ideas to develop your own code of ethics for professional success.

  • Understand the reasons ethics are essential personally and professionally;
  • Read case studies that illustrate ethical lapses;
  • Discover how to become a more ethical
