Ethical rules have become an important part of the business and professional world. Ethical codes are usually created to help a profession define minimum and expected standards of ethical conduct by its members. Ethical codes are usually created by a state or national organization, and typically enforced according to guidelines within the organization. A wide range of groups have adopted ethical codes, including lawyers, doctors, accountants, real estate professionals, teachers, journalists, social workers and engineers. The ethical standards allow clients and peers to rely on the fitness and honor of that professional’s conduct in the workplace, and confident that remedies will be available when those standards are not upheld.
