Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A chief ethics officer is specifically responsible for overseeing and ensuring ethical behavior and legal compliance within an organization. Whistle-blowers are individuals who report unethical or illegal behavior within an organization, but do not necessarily have the official responsibility of overseeing all aspects of morality and legal compliance. Vice-president of human resource management and foremen do not have the same level of authority and responsibility as a chief ethics officer in regard to organizational morality and legal compliance. Political lobbyists are individuals who advocate for certain policies or legislation, and do not have a direct role in overseeing organizational ethics and legal compliance.
