Code of Ethics

What is a Code of Ethics?

A Code of Ethics is a set of defined values that guides the company in making ethical decisions. The company can voluntarily add to their code of ethics, but they also have a code of ethics that is industry-specific. In cases of fraud, the business' code of ethics is not followed and/or violated in some manner.
