Ethics and Professionalism
The Ethics and Professionalism course will develop your understanding of the complexities and importance of ethics and corporate governance in a demanding global business environment, while promoting awareness of professional financial advisors and planners’ ethical responsibilities and the importance of The Financial Adviser Standards and Ethics Authority (FASEA), its code of ethics, values and standards.
This course has been developed as part of our postgraduate Financial Planning suite of programs and can serve as a bridging program for existing financial advisers who already hold an approved or relevant qualification and are only required to study a selection of remaining courses to meet education requirements.
UniSA Business is the only business school in South Australia accredited by both AACSB (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business) and the EFMD Quality Improvement System (EQUIS) – the world’s leading accreditation bodies recognising excellence in business and management education. This double accreditation demonstrates achievement of the highest international standards across teaching and learning, research, and stakeholder engagement, as well as a commitment to continuous improvement into the future.
Business schools that earn these accreditations must undergo a rigorous review process undertaken by peers in the business education community and industry, to ensure they have the resources, credentials and dedication to deliver first-rate programs, knowledge creation and positive impact on business and society.
These standards support UniSA Business to deliver on its mission, to innovate and engage, and to lead the business education community worldwide.
