Description This course will help you to increase your personal ethics and explore your obligations to act with integrity in all aspects of your work and professional relationships. You will also appreciate an Ethical Code of Standards and examine how you can prevent bribery and corruption based on a financial regulatory context.

Description A key component to the development of financial markets is to agree standards of behaviour and provide mechanisms for dispute resolution. These standards, rules and codes of conduct may be established through self-regulation of the industry, or by means of a statutory approach where governments provide enabling legislation and establish statutory-based regulatory authorities. Integrity and ethical behaviour are key parts of any code of conduct and have, as a result of the financial crisis, experienced renewed focus from professional bodies, governments and regulators.

Fraud is usually defined by domestic regulators as taking place within a 'given industry' and within the broader legal framework, in a 'given country'. Unethical behaviour is closely related and may be forbidden by industry or law firm associations, accounting organisations, or other private professional groups. In the UK, the Fraud Act 2006 and the Theft Act 1968 outline the primary fraud offenses. A similar outline of offenses exists in legislation such as the companies and tax regulations, and the landscape continues to evolve. The UK hosted an Anti-Corruption Summit in 2016 and enacted the Criminal Finances Act in 2017.
