Q3 Costco, Accenture, AAMFT COLLAPSE Costco, Accenture, AAMFT Costco: The code of ethics for Costco is very straightforward. They state they will conduct their business with these ethics in mind: obey the law, take care of employees, take care of members, and respect suppliers. By applying this code to their organization, they believe that they will be successful and keep shareholders happy. Costco takes a streamlined approach to its code of ethics, concentrating on these to outline behaviors and practices for the company as a whole. Accenture: The code of ethics for Accenture is a bit more involved than Costco’s. They state that their code of ethics is as follows: make conduct count, protect people, information, and our business, comply with laws, deliver for clients, be a good corporate citizen, and run business responsibly. This is an information technology services and consulting company, that has many segments to their organization. This code covers all aspects of this multifaceted company. AAMFT: The code of ethics for the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy is considerably more in-dept than the previous two. It is broken down into 9 segments as follows: Responsibility to clients, confidentiality, professional competence and integrity, responsibility to students and supervisees, research and publication, technology assisted professional services, professional evaluation, financial arrangements, and advertising. This code outlines the conduct that a therapist must comply with responsibilities outlined in each section. Most are pretty standard but it is interesting to look at the sections that have to do with technology assisted professional services. Therapists will at times not hold a traditional session in an office but over the phone or internet. This code of ethics outlines how therapists will comply with laws, conform to accepted practices, and help the public choose services on an informed basis. I chose three vastly different types of organizations to compare and contrast the code of ethics. The most complex and comprehensive code was for AAMFT which outlines the code of ethics that family and marriage therapists abide by and covers a variety of segments that they operate in. But the underlying thread that each on has is a drive to follow the laws that govern the organization. Advanced Solutions International, Inc. (n.d.).
