Definition
The Code of Ethics is a set of rules that guide the exercise of a specific profession, in
such a way that all professionals in the area act with the same principles and ethical
values.
The professions are not only governed by the Code of Ethics, but there are also statutes,
regulations and other types of documents, the Code being more oriented towards the
ethical and moral part of professional practice.
The Ethical Codes are elaborated by the members of a profession, who propose the
norms and carry out their approval; Some of these codes are many years old, so it is
unknown who their authors were, but nevertheless they are still valid and applied to the
present.

are responsible for ensuring that their employees abide by the rules established in the
code. These institutions have regulations that establish the sanctions that are applied to
those who fail to comply.
Failure to comply with the Code of Ethics is an offense that is considered serious.
When a professional violates the principles and norms established in the code, each
institution decides whether or not he will be sanctioned.

professional who is considered to have acted against the ethics that should govern their
profession, regardless of whether or not they have been directly affected by this action.
