This month’s FIRE On Your Side features a document called Take Your Ethical Temperature. This excerpt from our Ethics (General) course includes a brief overview of ethics vs. morals; the breakdown of an ethical decision making process; a case study applying the process to a real life scenario; and an interactive exercise to test your ethical temperature. The interactive exercise is included for your enjoyment and demonstrates the fine line between ethical and unethical decisions.

The full Ethics (General) course focuses on the following topics:

• Defining ethical character and outline steps to take when struggling with an ethical dilemma
• The application of FINRA and regulatory rules to ethical principals
• Highlights the characteristics of high professional standards
• Review of unethical communications
• Overview of how to handle material information
• Review methods to earn your customers’ trust and confidence
