Despite legislators and courts increasingly imposing higher standards in an attempt to secure appropriate ethical conduct from business, the number of high profile cases of questionable or unethical behaviour making headlines has not diminished. Public trust in the ethical practices of financial market participants has been eroded. This unit is designed to provide students with the necessary tools to acknowledge, recognize and examine moral challenges in financial decision-making. The unit highlights the importance of ethics in the operation of financial institutions and markets as well as the personal conduct of finance professionals.
