Professional ethics are the moral codes professional organization live by.  However, perceptions of ethical behavior vary from country to country based on culture.  To eliminate ambiguity and provide a standard of expectation and behavioral practices many professional organizations formally develop a code of ethics that all practitioners are expected to adhere to; Project Management is no Exception.  The Project management Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct can be found on the Project Management Institute Website. http://www.pmi.org/-/media/pmi/documents/public/pdf/ethics/pmi-code-of-ethics.pdfLinks to an external site..

During this final course we were required to write on ethic and professional conducts my submission for this assignment may be view on the attached file below.  

Abstract


During the first part of the 21st century the business and accounting worlds in America were rock by historic scandals.  The fall of business titans such as Enron, Worldcom, Hollinger International, Tyco and Yahoo dominated not only business news but the global news as well.  The term “big business” became synonymous with greed and fraud. While these giants fell from grace over felonious activities.  The accounting firm Arthur Andersen became collateral damage when it was revealed that they destroyed documents related to the Enron investigation.  Once recognized as a leader in business accounting an analysis of its fall reveals how diversity, lead to conflict of interest, then to ethics miss behavior and finally to Federal charges, disgrace and business failure.  Arthur Andersen’s early reputation was for impeccable ethics.  Its founder Arthur Andersen was known to put reputation ahead of profit.  The purpose of this paper is an examination of professional ethics, how ethics affects project management and how professional organizations are a key in monitoring, exposing ethical issues and encouraging ethical behavior.
