How an Ethics CPE Course Fights Corruption
An ethics CPE course is required for many a profession today, but somehow it doesn’t seem like the world is getting any less corrupt! But the emphasis on fair play is relatively recent and perhaps it is simply too early to properly judge what the effects really are.
Indeed, all the scandal in the news may be taken as a sign that more corruption is being uncovered than ever before – which sounds like an argument that things are getting better, not worse!
An ethics CPE course is certainly a good thing, make no mistake about it. However, that such a requirement should exist at all is a little grating. Common-sense notions of right and wrong should surely be expected as a matter of course from our legal and accounting professionals, no? After all, even small children know when they’ve done something they shouldn’t have!
Thus that adult professionals should need such a thing as an ethics CPE course is disturbing to contemplate. While it’s true that life is often full of morally ambiguous situations, it also stands that people know what they’re doing when they cheat and steal and no one serving in an excecutive capacity does anything out of sheer ignorance!
So the complaint stands valid as ever: instruction in ethical behavior is unlikely to improve the prevalence of such behavior simply on account of the fact that those who cheat do not suffer from a lack of knowledge concerning what is right and wrong. One might as well teach a leopard to change his spots – or a bird to become a fish!
Bleak? No, not really; just realistic. It would be more realistic to spend our energies focusing on the real problem, greed, rather than have some dry academic instruction on how money is often made in the real world.
