This canon guides us to right actions in life as it does in finance. The purpose of this chapter is to give a reasonably detailed overview of these philosophical foundations and propose that the established moral theories are relevant and applicable in the practical field of finance. There are reasons why financial ethics has lost its place in academic finance, and therefore in the practice of finance, and this chapter will elaborate on the causes. It is not overly optimistic to state that the rediscovery of ethics in finance has already begun.","PeriodicalId":409434,"journal":{"name":"Research Handbook on Law and Ethics in Banking and Finance","volume":"143 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133509424","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the efficacy of the regime may be hampered by the existence of individual psychological limitations and institutional structures. Financial regulation will never be fully effective if there is no substantial change in the culture of financial services with individuals gaining an ethical insight into their own actions. This requires leadership and action by both the regulators and more importantly the firms themselves. Equally important is the need for professionalism, which is both an aid to improving competence and to developing and sustaining ethical behaviour. All these aspects can be buttressed by the regulators but require firms in the industry to act themselves. Unethical behaviour does not happen somewhere else. It can permeate all firms and spread like a contagion. The remedy rests with the industry.","PeriodicalId":409434,"journal":{"name":"Research Handbook on Law and Ethics in Banking and Finance","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132600027","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
