Professional Ethics

- As we all coexist and live as a society together, it is imperative that a code of conduct is established to live harmoniously. We are always confused about how to differentiate between what is right or wrong, both personally and professionally. Learn more about professional ethics.


- Ethics forms a major classification of philosophy and is a study of values and customs of a person or a group. It deals with the analysis and application of concepts such as right or wrong, good and evil and clear distinction of responsibilities. Professional ethics refers to ethics specifically concerned with human character, acceptable behavior and conduct. Ethical behavior is something that goes beyond simply obeying a set of rules and regulations, it is about committing yourself to do and act according to what is right, cognizant of your own conscience. To put it simply, professional ethics concerns one’s behavior, conduct and practice when carrying out professional work; it could be any profession such as consulting, research or writing. Most professional bodies set a code of conduct that is to be followed by its members such as doctors, accountants, lawyers to name a few. It is assumed that the members accept the adherence to these codes or rules, including restrictions that apply. At the same time, no two codes of ethics are identical. They vary on the basis of cultural group, profession or discipline.
