Description

Distinguished ladies and gentlemen, I want to thank ACCA and CFA Society, for organizing this particular event and inviting me to share my thoughts with you. 2. What I would like to do is to divide my remarks to address four different audiences at the micro level, public servants, private firms and individual professions on the value of ethics, how they interact and are linked with each other. We tend to think about ethics as something additional to whatever we are doing but my submission is that ethical values have to be embedded not only in your mission statement but in the actual practice, in your day to day life. That means you have to walk the talk rather than pretend that by celebrating these kind of events or tick marking some boxes in the code of ethics you have actually done your job. I beg to differ with that approach. I want ethics to be firmly ingrained in your day to day practice as a government official, as a private professional or as an employee of a firm.
