【Answers】
44 Statement 1 only Statement 1 can be used as a definition of ethics: ethics
are a set of moral principles to guidebehaviour.
Statement 2 is not true. A course of action may not be
illegal, but it may still be unethical for example, where
some finance companies sell high interest consumer
loans to vulnerable people who then struggle to repay
the loans and the interest.
Clearly companies and individuals have to comply with
legal standards and regulations, but the notion of
ethical behaviour denotes moral principles and social
responsibility as well as legal compliance.
45 Systems audit A systems audit is designed to assess the overall
effectiveness of the organisation's internal controls.
46 From a role culture to a task
culture
The civil service is currently 'a highly controlled,
bureaucratic structure'. This is a role culture. Hai wants
to make it focus on results which is a task culture.
Therefore Hai is seeking to change the civil servicefrom
a role culture to a taskculture.
