For example, in the accounting department, the organization should identify accuracy and confidentiality as the key values to the success of the department. Values needed to identify current issues should be brought to fore. This should be done by selecting a few people to interview the members of the organization in identifying key areas that require attention in the organization. Out of the issues identified, determine which ones are ethical and device ways in which the organization can solve them.
It should be noted that not all remedies can be obtained for any ethical dilemma that might arise. Emphasis should be made on dilemmas that don't occur frequently. The code of ethics should also be updated annually. This should however be done after proper consultation with all members because it should be noted that the most important aspects of a functioning ethical program is the formulation of the ethical codes and not in the implementation.
The modified codes of ethics should be announced to all members in the organization immediately,...
Review should also be done by incorporation of key members of the organization. All departments should be effectively represented at all times such that, the reviewed ethics program covers the entire organization. In addition, wordings which seek to encompass the input of all members should always be included in the reviewed ethics program. Moreover, wordings that stipulate the procedures which members can follow when aggrieved should also be established in the reviewed ethics program.
The reviewed code of ethics should be associated with each value portrayed in it. At least two examples should be made on each value to represent the true meaning of the intended values and avoid any instances of ambiguity. The general stake holders of the organization should also be considered in that; their prized concerns should be addressed. For instance the consideration of employees, government, donors and members of the community should be considered when reviewing the code of ethics.
