Code
of Ethics
The
Code of Ethics is a standard that reminds
us and binds us to the obligations that
we hold as technology professionals. These
ideals are principles that all members should
hold as a basis for their everyday careers.
Standards
of Conduct
These
standards expand on the Code of Ethics by
providing specific statements of behavior
in support of each element of the Code.
They are not objectives to be strived for,
they are rules that no true professional
will violate. It is first of all expected
that an information processing professional
will abide by the appropriate laws of their
country and community. These standards address
tenets that apply to the profession. |
