Question

Which functional area in business ethics is about obeying and adhering to rules and authority ________________.

• A. Ethics in compliance
• B. Ethics in finance
• C. Ethics in production
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A Ethics in compliance

Compliance is about obeying and adhering to rules and authority. The motivation for being compliant could be to do the right thing out of the fear of being caught rather than a desire to abide by the law. An ethical climate in an organisation ensures that compliance with law is fuelled by a desire to abide by the laws. Organisations that value high ethical values comply with the laws not only in letter but go beyond what is stipulated or expected of them.
