The CFA Societies Canada Ethics Challenge embodies the mission of CFA Institute by promoting “the highest standards of ethics, education, and professional excellence.” It fulfills this mission by promoting best practices in the investment profession and preparing students for the ethical dilemmas they may face in their careers.
The CFA Societies Canada Ethics Challenge is designed to increase students’ awareness of the ethical dilemmas and issues they may face as investment management professionals. Teams consisting of students from finance or business programs (usually from CFA Institute’s University Affiliation Program) are given an ethics case to analyze and evaluate. Each team then presents its analysis and recommendations, to a panel of judges, selected by the host CFA Society.
