It is now acknowledged that there has been a general decline in ethical standards in the business world, perhaps due in part to a celebrity culture that overvalues wealth and shallow notions of ''success''. Ethics used to be discussed only by philosophers and academics, but it is now apparent to business leaders that companies wishing to survive into the future have to develop effective protection against exposure to ''ethical risk''.  This Short Guide, written by a professional with diverse international experience in auditing and fraud prevention who has specialised in ethics-related issues, serves as a resource for all who need a more complete view of the subject and practical guidance to inform their daily business decisions.

Not only is he insightful, if we don’t pay attention to the guidance described in this book individual companies will be at a significant risk and the global economy will suffer.'  - Roy Snell CCEP-Fellow, Chief Executive Officer, Society of Corporate Compliance and Ethics  'The doctrine that capitalism works simply through greed met its denouement in the Great Crash of 2008. An alternative view is re-emerging, that morality is irreducible to individual preferences and that it plays an essential role in cementing social relations, even in a capitalist economy. Carlo Patetta Rotta has produced a very useful practical guide to ethical issues within business.' -  Professor Geoffrey M. Hodgson.
