Do only bad people make ethically questionable decisions?

In today’s fast paced and high-pressure world, busy finance and investment professionals often face ethical dilemmas where they must choose between competing and equally compelling options.

Through the use of real-life examples, we will identify the internal and external forces that can lead any conscientious professional to act unethically.  Participants will have an opportunity to consider a series of short, real life case studies and vote on the best (and, in some cases, the least-worst) outcome.

We are pleased to introduce our presenters from CFA Institute:
