Every person acts a different way and has a different personality. One person can act kind and caring towards others, while another person can act upset and angry towards the world. It all depends on everyone’s perception of life and how they react to different events throughout their life. However, every faculty and place has their own code of conduct to respond to everyone’s actions in a fair and equal manner. According to the Cambridge Dictionaries Online, a code of conduct is “a set of rules about how to behave and do business with other people.” Every code of conduct varies from place to place, and even if one is not aware that there is a code of conduct enforced at the location where one is at, most likely there is one. For instance, a code of conduct can be present at a store, school, building, and organization. Unknowingly, when one walks into a store, one is consenting to the store’s code of conduct and must follow it. Imagine walking into Walmart or Target and having to follow all their rules without knowing them precisely, but having to follow them in order to be able to shop at the store. However, most of the time a code of conduct is made for their employees and they must follow it; in order to, to work for the company. For instance, as stated by the Walmart’s Global Statement of Ethics, a Walmart employee must follow guidelines such as “respect for individual, service to their customers, striving for excellence, and acting with integrity.”
AICPA Code of Professional Conduct is the code of conduct that required each member of the organization to follow rigorously and act with integrity, objectivity, due care, competence, fully disclose any conflicts of interest (and obtain client consent if a conflict exists), maintain client confidentiality, disclose to the client any commission or referral fees, and serve the public interest when providing financial services. Accountants are relied upon to be trustworthy and maintain high ethical standards. It is because of the nature of the profession that puts them in a position of trust with people who rely on their professional judgment and guidance in making decisions. These decisions are extremely important in accounting
In the old NMC (2008) Code; Standards of conduct, performance, and ethics for nurses and midwives, stated it 'must not discriminate in any way against those in your care.' Holland and Hogg (2010) argue that nursing is to have a consideration of the cultural knowledge, to which they highlight nursing in Australia which has embedded a notion of multiculturalism. The Australian Code of Professional Conduct (2008) states that 'Nurses respect the dignity, culture, ethnicity, values and beliefs of people receiving care and treatment.' The revised NMC (2015) Code; Professional standards of practice and behaviour for nurses and midwives, state nurses should ' avoid making assumptions and recognise diversity and individual choice.' Making nurses aware
The introduction to the old AICPA Code of Professional Conduct of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants provides guidance and rules for all members as it explains the composition of the code, application of standards and compliance enforcement procedures. The code consists of two sections principles and rules. The Principles provide a general framework for the Rules which CPAs have to adhere to the rules of the AICPA Code when practicing. The AICPA Code of Conduct consists of three levels: Principles of professional of conduct, Rules and interpretations and rulings. If a member violates the Code rules, disciplinary actions would be taken. The Principles of Professional Conduct (Sec 50) explains the responsibilities, public interest, integrity, objectivity and independence, due care and scope and nature of services for professional accountants. The rules of the AICPA Code are (Sec 90) Applicability and Definitions, (Sec 100) Independence, Integrity and Objectivity, (Sec 200) General Standards and accounting principles, (Sec 300) Responsibilities to clients, (sec 400) Responsibilities to colleagues and (sec 500) Other responsibilities.
It’s good to know that she has learned many things from me and I never knew that I am a good supporter because I feel good to be close to those who are feeling depressed and low. However I am happy that I am with Deborah in her hard situations and to know that I played a unique role in her life. Yes as she said I am confident because only if I am confident can I encourage others. I wish she could have mentioned about my achievements till now as she is the person who knows all about me.
Firstly, I have to state that I'm a firm believer in the need for establishing codes of ethics and in the need for the employees to follow these codes. Many ethical issues can be resolved up front by establishing such codes. This is the reason why a code of ethics for CPAs' called Code of Professional Conduct was created (AICPA, 2115). Of course there will always be a situation that is not covered by the code of ethics and in this case my personal ethics and the sense of integrity and responsibility would play a major role. My assumption is that in the described scenario there is no rule in the code of ethics that covers this issue or there is no code of ethics written for this company at all. I'm a person who has no problem taking responsibility
I enjoyed reading your very informative post on Principle I – Responsibilities of the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct. The majority of the classmates discussed the third principle which is integrity, not to say that the principle of “responsibilities” is the most important, Duska, Duska, & Ragatz (2011) suggest that the first principle indicates the responsibility to cooperate with fellow professionals to maintain the integrity of the accounting profession. Under this principle, the accountant has the obligation to improve the art of accounting, to maintain the public’s confidence, and to carry out the professional responsibility for self-governance. Recent accounting scandals have deteriorated the public confidence in the profession therefore,
First, the rules of conduct start at the top, but they work down to every employee in a CPA firm. The firm must establish the code of conduct and then 'live' the code. The tone is established and monitored at the top and enforced through training and constant evaluation. Every person in the organization learns that deviation from the code will not be tolerated. (Arthur Anderson may have forgotten part of that when dealing with Enron.)
The health care system consists of broad spectrums which construct opportunities to provide quality care to their clients. These opportunities are influenced by society and technology consisted demands for streamline processes in health care. Those streamline processes focus on the review of professional code of conduct subjected to an overall mandate of regulations. In particular, regulations pertaining to health care ethics. For this purpose, health care ethics involve principles such as: ethics of distribution, autonomy and informed consent, beneficence and non-maleficence, confidentiality and truthfulness. Therefore addressing these topics in regards to professional
In the Cypress Fairbanks Independent School District, there are many incidents that involve the physical fighting of students; therefore, the school needs administrators on duty to stop it immediately. It seems in the beginning of the school year the administrators are actively defending the innocent students from other students fighting, but the rest of the year they are lenient on controlling the number of school fighting around the campus. This needs to be addressed to all who attends Langham Creek High School regularly. The number of administrators guarding the school currently are not enough to appropriately guard the school when they are fights in parts of the school where it is not heavily monitored. In Langham Creek High School they
I work in a medium secure unit (male and female) as a staff nurse and this includes mentoring student nurses, shift co-ordinating my unit including other units in the entire hospital. Since we have a common purpose and I offer direction to patients and other colleagues would suggest a form of leadership as suggested by Hafford–Letchfield (2010). The NMC professional code of conduct guidelines, advocates for mentors myself included, to encourage the development of students and others with their competence levels. My personal attributes as per trait theory plays a major role in ensuring information is delivered appropriately. Kindness, accessibility and good understanding are some of the attributes I possess. Though at times, aspects of frustrations and annoyance would be evident when tasks are not performed as required. Due to the varying traits staff possess, I have learnt to approach issues differently.
Holly, your thread aligns with much of what Jacob and I also covered. Ironically, such agreement is alignment with I Corinthians 1:10 which says, “Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment” (King James Version). Job well done!
Understanding and upholding of the Code of Ethical Conduct and Statement of Commitment set by National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) will help me to be a better early childhood educator and teaching intern because it will allow me to become transparent to those who interact with me. By having a set of standards and values of how I will conduct myself will help those around me to understand my passion, mind-set, my personal and professional values and most importantly why I am teaching and the respect I have for the educational process. I have always believed that learning is a lifelong process and it is my duty to provide youth with the tools for success, while helping them develop a positive self-image and sense
The code of ethics and conduct is a written set of rules and regulations that provides guidance to employees of an organization on how to conduct themselves and carry out their duties in line with the organization’s principles. The code of ethics and conduct is also be backed up by suitable disciplinary actions. A code of ethics and conducts helps employees deal with ethical issues and other gray areas that they face as they execute their daily activities. An effective code of ethics and conduct is required for an organization to run smoothly and maintain a positive image. Having an ineffective code of ethics and conduct is almost like having none.
It is one thing to establish a code of ethical conduct for an organization in the public sector, but it is quite another to really impress upon all employees the importance of living up to that code of conduct. What makes a code of conduct and how can management be assured that all employees understand the code and follow it's values and guidelines? How do not-for-profit professions stack up against for-profit professionals when it comes to ethics? This paper delves into codes of conduct in the public and sector and provides a review of several scholarly articles that present specific instances where codes of conduct are part of the workplace culture.
In order to communicate my message that the companies need a unified code of conduct, I would have to learn the process of communicating. There are six steps for the process of communicating:
