These principles promote the highest ethical conduct and disclosure levels and provide direction and support for both the individual practitioner and the risk management profession.<\/p>\r\n<p>The pursuit of high ethical standards goes beyond following the letter of applicable rules and regulations and behaving in accordance with the intentions of those laws and regulations, it is about pursuing a universal ethical culture.<\/p>\r\n<p>All individuals, firms, and associations have an ethical character. Some of the biggest risks faced by firms today do not involve legal or compliance violations but rest on decisions involving ethical considerations and the application of appropriate standards of conduct to business decision-making.<\/p>\r\n<p>There is no single prescriptive ethical standard that can be globally applied. We can only expect that GARP Members will continuously consider ethical issues and adjust their conduct accordingly as they engage in their daily activities. This document makes references to professional standards and generally accepted risk management practices. Risk practitioners should understand these as concepts that reflect an evolving shared body of professional standards and practices. In considering the issues this raises, ethical behavior must weigh the circumstances and the culture of the applicable global community in which the practitioner resides.<\/p>\r\n<h2>Code of Conduct<\/h2>\r\n<p>The Code is comprised of the following Principles, Professional Standards, and Rules of Conduct, which GARP Members agree to uphold and implement.<\/p>\r\n<h3>1. Principles<\/h3>\r\n<h4>1.1 Professional Integrity and Ethical Conduct<\/h4>\r\n<p>GARP Members shall act with honesty, integrity, and competence to fulfill the risk professional&#8217;s responsibilities and to uphold the reputation of the risk management profession.

In a recent report, Muriuki makes the following statements:<\/p>\r\n<p>&#8220;Based on the fact that the firm has recorded steady growth in customer numbers over the last decade, and that the insurance penetration currently stands at 3%, I expect the trend to continue for the next 10 years. I also expect that the company will be able to translate the continually increasing revenue into significant profits.&#8221;<\/p>\r\n<p>The report goes on to describe in detail the risks facing the firm, particularly geopolitical risks associated with African countries. Muriuki&#8217;s report:<\/p>\r\n<p>A. Violated the Code by failing to distinguish factual details from his opinion<\/p>\r\n<p>B. Did not violate the Code<\/p>\r\n<p>C. Violated the code by giving a shallow professional assessment of the insurance market in Africa<\/p>\r\n<p>D. Violated the Code by failing to properly identify all the risks related to operations in African countries<\/p>\r\n<p>The correct answer is <strong>B<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n<p>Historical growth can be presented as a fact since it actually happened. Muriuki states that the firm should expect further growth in revenue and profits, which is an opinion. He does not claim that these are facts. Therefore, he does not violate the standard regarding the separation of facts from opinions.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>A Is incorrect<\/strong> because Muriuki&#8217;s report seems to be a combination of fact-based observation (steady growth in customer numbers, 3% insurance penetration) and a professional forecast or opinion about future growth and profitability. It doesn&#8217;t appear that he has failed to distinguish between these two elements.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>C Is incorrect<\/strong> because there is no evidence in the scenario that Muriuki&#8217;s assessment of the African insurance market is shallow. He may very well have based his opinion on thorough research and understanding.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>D Is incorrect<\/strong> because the question explicitly states that the report goes on to describe the risks facing the firm, including geopolitical risks. This would seem to indicate that Muriuki has indeed identified risks related to operations in African countries.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n\n            <div \n
