If your financial institution doesn’t have its integrity, it has nothing.

As fiduciaries, financial institution directors and officers, you’re obligated to act in the best interest of your institution. Removing confidential material for personal purposes is a breach in your duty and compromises the ethical, moral ground of your institution.  The FDIC has recently issued guidelines regarding the copying and removal of confidential financial institution information as a stern reminder that this type of activity is violates laws and regulations that protect your institutions information security program.

In this special report, It’s Time to Update Your Ethics Policy and Employee Handbook, you’ll review the code of ethics and conflicts of interest that can potentially harm your institution. This special report covers:

• How to address conflicts of interests
• Codes of ethics policy and procedures
• Reporting questionable accounting practices, including record preservation
• And what role you play in being accountable for the ethics of your financial institution
