Ethics for finance professionals at all levels

"Your Career, Our Economy: Stakes are High When Finance Professionals Let Ethics Slide":

Bernie Madoff, AIG, and Allen Stanford all supply grand-scale 'teachable moments' for discussions about ethics in business. However, ethical behavior applies to all levels of professionals, not just those at the top of financial organizations. That's one of the lessons that professor Marianne Jennings at the W.P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University is trying to impart to her undergraduate business students.

Jennings is also the author of the book, "The Seven Signs of Ethical Collapse: Understanding What Causes Moral Meltdowns in Organizations."
