Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Edmund's role as executive in-charge of the code of conduct and administration of the code of conduct makes him most likely to be the ethics officer of the organization. The ethics officer is responsible for ensuring that the organization's conduct complies with legal and ethical standards, investigates violations of the code of conduct, and supports employees with additional guidance and support. The other options such as chief operations officer, guidance officer, and chief investigating officer do not accurately describe Edmund's role in the organization.
