Which of the following acts as a reference point to determine what is legal and what is ethical?

a. Code of laws
b. Code of ethics
c. Code of conduct
d. Code of practice


b. Code of ethics
Laws do not provide a complete guide to ethical behavior. Just because an activity is defined as legal does not mean that it is ethical. As a result, practitioners in many professions subscribe to a code of ethics that states the principles and core values that are essential to their work and, therefore, govern their behavior. The code can become a reference point for determining what is legal and what is ethical.
