Ethics: Avoiding the Slippery Slope of Ethical Pressures – 2 Hour Version – Part 1

You may want to be on the nightly news, but not for an egregious breach of ethics. You may be saying, “that will never happen to me.” And those were the words spoken by Wells Fargo, United Airlines, Senator Al Franken, and Steve Wynn. Sadly, a claim of an ethical failure stays in the news for almost 5 years. Long enough to damage your reputation and lower your profitability.

In the first half of this 2-hour session we will start by evaluating your ethical views with an ethical quiz, discuss various definitions of ethics, and review the AICPA’s definition of ethics. The second half will address why ethics is so complicated – including pressures, right-vs-right-dilemmas,and blind spots that prevent us from seeing ethical issues.
