bargaining power, and resources. Finally, market transactions between two parties

financial market.

a duty to develop the product according to people’s need and market them in
correct manner. But this kind of financial service industry normally deals with
client and try to gain clients confidence on them and finally do the duties which
will satisfy their clients and not to people’s. Their main aim is to stay competitive
with others.


Need of ethics for financial people in organization
– Huge number of people in finance are employee of an organization. This include
person who approve some project which should not be approved, they approve in
order to gain money in the term of bribe. Most of the unethical activities like
giving wrong report and wrong data to the company in order to get more money
start from here which pushes whole financial market and financial service industry
down because all most in all organization there are lot a number of people who are
held in finance roles and activities.
