At the heart of the recent spate of financial scandals from Enron to Parmalat lies a yawning deficit in the ethical behaviour of bankers - so say some. Others argue that there is no role for ethics in finance beyond the requirements of the law. This lecture asks, which view is right? If ethics are important, is there a question bankers could ask themselves, before they consider a transaction, in order to judge the appropriateness of their behaviour?
