Designed to Reinforce Organization's
Culture of Integrity Around World
NEW YORK, 19 NOV 2002 --- PricewaterhouseCoopers today unveiled the
accounting profession's first global "Code of Conduct" -- a set of principles
that guides the organization's business conduct and helps its people sustain a
culture of ethics and integrity around the world.
"Our reputation is anchored in the professionalism, ethics and excellence of
service our people have demonstrated throughout our 150-year history," notes
Samuel A. DiPiazza, PricewaterhouseCoopers'global CEO. "Yet we recognize that
today's challenging business climate requires us to demonstratively reinforce
our commitment to high standards and our passion for quality and integrity in
all we do. That is why we have developed the PricewaterhouseCoopers Code of
Conduct. We hope it will be a model for the profession."
A set of standards describing the behaviors PricewaterhouseCoopers expects of
its people, the Code also provides guidelines that, combined with the good
judgment and experience of its employees, exemplify the organization everywhere
in the world it does business. The PricewaterhouseCoopers Code of Conduct is an
outgrowth of the organization's existing values of excellence, teamwork and
leadership. PricewaterhouseCoopers' desire to articulate those values by
creating the global Code was not a "knee-jerk" reaction to the current crisis of
confidence in the financial markets and the accounting profession, although the
organization's desire to articulate those values has been reinforced by current
events.
Explains Barbara Kipp, global ethics leader for PricewaterhouseCoopers,
"Although our people conduct business within a framework of relevant laws,
regulations and internal policies, we recognize that laws and policies do not
govern all behavior. We felt it was important for all our stakeholders – our
people, our clients and the investing public – to understand exactly what we
stand for and how they can expect us to conduct ourselves."
Globally the PricewaterhouseCoopers Code of Conduct is part of a comprehensive
initiative designed to ensure that all PricewaterhouseCoopers member firms
worldwide help their people to understand and comply with it. That included
naming dedicated business conduct leaders around the world, developing training
programs, using communications channels such as helplines to allow partners and
staff to raise concerns, and creating ways to monitor the effectiveness of these
activities.
The PricewaterhouseCoopers Code of Conduct is integral to the way the
organization works every day in every part of the world. But its implementation
will take place locally. Since legal and professional requirements – and
business cultures -- differ from country to country, PricewaterhouseCoopers
encourages local supplements to address local customs and laws.
In the United States, the Code's U.S. supplement provides U.S.-based people with
more detailed information on a broad range of policies covering legal and
professional obligations, client and other business relationships,
organizational and administrative requirements and personal conduct. It was
developed by the U.S. firm's long-established Ethics & Business Conduct Office,
which administers a comprehensive program to guide those faced with ethical
issues or policy-based questions. It is believed to be the only comprehensive
ethics program among the U.S.-based Big Four accounting firms. Elements include
defined channels of communication (including a confidential helpline and
mailbox) and training in ethical concepts and ethical decision-making. The U.S.
ethics program was the 1998 private company recipient of the American Business
Ethics Award presented by the Society of Financial Services Professionals.
"Although we realize that no code of conduct or ethics management program can
guarantee the prevention of wrongdoing, we do believe that the
PricewaterhouseCoopers Code of Conduct, coupled with the appropriate supporting
activities, can help prevent and detect misconduct. Even more important, it can
help sustain a culture where integrity is valued and promoted through everyday
business practice," says Ms. Kipp.
PricewaterhouseCoopers (www.pwcglobal.com)
is the world's largest professional services organization. Drawing on the
knowledge and skills of more than 125,000 people in 142 countries, we build
relationships by providing services based on quality and integrity.
"PricewaterhouseCoopers" refers to the network of member firms of
PricewaterhouseCoopers International Limited, each of which is a separate and
independent legal entity.
