Field of Study: Behavioral Ethics

Avoid conflicts of interest. Seek no personal gain. Minimize the impact of lobbying. Recognize and reduce potential bias. Most government professionals know the right thing to do. However, knowing what is right is much easier than doing what is right. Everyday scenarios in procurement cause finance and procurement professionals to confront difficult ethical scenarios. When you are faced with the challenge, will you have the confidence to take a stand?

In this session, speakers will present a series of case studies related to procurement and provide opportunities for attendees to practice their response. Find out how you would respond in critical scenarios and how your response is viewed by your peers.

Learning Objectives

  • Identify common ethical issues that all governments face
  • Describe strategies for analyzing issues and determining an appropriate course of action
