Task
Your task is to carry out a critical analysis and evaluation of the ethics and corporate governance policies adopted by global financial service providers, using the information provided and other materials researched. You will be expected to select and apply appropriate theories, techniques and models studied during the module whilst having regard to the practical aspects of ethics and corporate governance.
Your assignment should be presented in a business report format and should be within the range 2,500 ± 10% words (excluding executive summary/abstract, references and relevant appendices). The report should include a title page and abstract and be fully and consistently referenced, using Harvard Referencing style. The title page should be clearly labelled with your name, your course and the name of the case study.
It is recommended that you research information additional to the case study to support your arguments. This may be obtained from a diverse range of sources, and you are encouraged to research the issues in whichever way you deem appropriate.
The assessment will focus on the level of ANALYSIS carried out. That is, the application of THEORETICAL CONCEPTS studied in the module to the ‘practical' case study presented. In other words, you should proceed beyond a DESCRIPTION of the company and its actions. You should be analysing ‘why' rather than describing ‘what'. 10% of the marks are set aside for the ‘presentation' criteria.
