Ethics
The CFA Ethics course focuses on the Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional Conduct, which carry significant weight across all CFA levels. A strong understanding of ethics is essential not only for exam performance, especially in borderline cases, but also for building long-term professional credibility in finance.
The Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional Conduct outlines seven standards that guide the professional practice of financial analysts. Many of the standards do not provide concrete guidance or rules but rather provide general guidelines that can be applied to an array of professional situations and relationships. The standards were updated in 2006 to reflect the changes experienced in the financial industry due to rapidly advancing technology, changing investment trends and greater access to financial investing related to expanded technological access.
