Professional ethics refers to the body of rules and laws that govern moral decision making by the members of various professions and occupations. These ethical codes vary from one profession to another and are ultimately designed to advance the common good.
At CSAAE, we believe that if professionals abide by their ethical codes, we shall have a better society. For example if all accountants abide by their ethical codes, it would be harder for leaders to steal money. If doctors abide by medical ethics, we shall surely have a healthier society.
To this end, the Centre provides resources and organizes capacity building trainings for members of various professions to enable them to abide by their ethical codes.
