This module examines ethics as a pervasive, core element of qualitative practice in all professional disciplines, and its special importance to CPCAs. The various value systems and attitude sets which are the basis for ethical professional practice are presented in detail. Students are taken, step-wise, through The Professional Code of Ethical Standards of Age-Friendly Business (AFB)®, and they are required to sign an agreement to abide by this Code as a condition of becoming members of Age-Friendly Business® following successful completion of the final examination. The investigative and disciplinary functions of AFB's independent Board of Standards is fully explained, as well as its role in dealing with complaints against CPCAs.
You will notice that the video lectures may refer to statistics to reinforce a teaching point. Some of these statistics are from research conducted in the past years. In a number of instances, the research study has not been redone if the trend studied has evidenced no material change. In other circumstances, the statistics may have changed slightly, and we have then included these in the document entitled UPDATED STATS AND FACTS -- so make sure you check these out if they listed in the Resource Material section.Step 1: RESOURCE MATERIAL.

QUIZ TIPS
- Although we wanted to create reasonably challenging questions, we did not intend to create 'trick' questions. If it feels like a trick question to you -- please re-read the question carefully and ask yourself what fact or concept is being questioned.
- This is NOT a timed quiz. Take all the time you need to consider the question and make your best selection.
- Be attentive to questions asking which statement is NOT correct, or if all statements are correct EXCEPT.
- If you have read the question carefully, your first impression of the correct answer is usually the right choice to make.
Smile and Relax! We have provided you with every opportunity to do well.
