Overview

This module is delivered via lectures and workshops wherein students are expected to engage with the material through classroom discussion. Case studies are drawn from examples of poor ethical practice in banking and finance and are used to support student learning. You will consider moral and normative ethics in a business context, and the application of ethical principles within key financial services areas including lending, investing and trading. The role of individuals, organisations, and corporate governance arrangements are considered. Professional standards such as those from ACCA, CFA, CBI and CISI are introduced along with broader regulation of the industry and conduct of business.
