REQUIREMENTS
Each student will identify two codes of conduct - one for a professional organization and one for a corporation - and will prepare a written report comparing and contrasting the two codes selected. For this project, "professional organizations" means associations or organizations that exist to promote performance for professions, such as the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for CPA's. There are professional organizations for many professions, including engineering, medical professions, management, financial executives, tax accountants, marketers, attorneys, etc.
The code of conduct report is to include the following components:
· Codes of conduct selected: List the two codes of conduct selected and the Internet address where each can be found.
· Comparison: Identify and describe at least five components of the selected codes that are similar. Explain why you think the organizations/firms included similar components in their codes of conduct.

· Summary: Summarize your views on the existence (or lack thereof) and need for codes of conduct for professional organizations and corporations.
The report should be approximately five pages long, with one-inch margins and 1.5-line line spacing. The report should flow logically with transitions and/or headings to help the reader navigate it. The pages should be numbered.
