Ethics and Attitude in the Office

Course details

Ethics refers to well-founded standards of right and wrong that prescribe what humans ought to do, usually in terms of rights, obligations, benefits to society, fairness, or specific virtues.  It is the duty of an officer or director to deal with the entity he or she serves ethically and in good faith.
