Recommended for exchange students
Course Description
Employees working in financial institutions and dealing in financial markets should care about ethics. That financial activity be conducted ethically is of great importance, not only because of the crucial role that finance plays in the personal, economic, political, and social realms but also because of the opportunities for large financial gains, which may induce individuals and financial firms and institutions to act unethically and cause great harm. Ethics plays a vital role, however, first, by guiding the formation of law and regulation and, second, by influencing conduct in areas not governed by law and regulation. Managers with responsibility in financial institutions and markets, financial services or corporate finance are confronted with many ethical issues, which are different from those in other areas of business and require specialized understanding and treatment.
