Our Mission is to increase awareness of ethical issues and raise the level of ethical behavior in the financial services industry.

The American College Center for Ethics in Financial Services is the only academic ethics center that focuses exclusively on the financial services industry. The Center for Ethics in Financial Services promotes ethical behavior through program offerings that go beyond the “rules” of market conduct in an effort to help executives and producers be more sensitive to ethical issues and think more critically about ethical solutions.

Our interactive courses, forums, and workshops provide practitioners the ability to think critically and behave ethically, particularly in the absence of clear rules and directives. We also serve as a resource for cutting-edge research and discussion of emerging ethical issues within the financial services industry.

Because of its location in an accredited academic institution, the Center contributes objective and rigorous thinking in helping executives, producers, and regulators deal with the ethical implications of public policy positions.
