    The Need for a Code of Ethics
    Ethical principles are derived from cultural values societal traditions and personal attitudes on issues of right and wrong. Integrity and individual ethics are formed through a persons life experience. Ethics plays a critical role when people make choices and decisions. Although individuals have their own values and may behave differently from one another firms often choose to establish a formal expectation through a code of ethics on what is considered to be ethical within the group in order to promote ethical behavior. Ethical behavior prompted by a code of ethics can be considered a form of internal control. Given todays diversified and globalized business environment a firm will have to rely on the ethics of its employees to operate efficiently and effectively. In addition the importance of a code of ethics should be emphasized because employees with different culture backgrounds are likely to have different values.
    In addition many professional associations have developed codes of ethics to assist professionals in selecting among decisions that are not clearly right or wrong. Some examples include the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) the Information Systems Audit and Control Association (ISACA) the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) and the Institute of Management Accountants (IMA). The certification programs of these associations require the knowledge of the codes of ethics in developing professionalism.

This bill was a response to business scandals such as Enron WorldCom and Tyco International. SOX requires public companies registered with the SEC and their auditors to annually assess and report on the design and effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.
