Your Analysis and Evaluation report must cover the following nine (9) points which headings are to be clearly shown on the report to facilitate its grading.

The cover page for this Ethical Analysis and Evaluation Report should follow the same format as that used for the comparison of the two banks research report (see below for sample page). The research report must also contain footnotes/ in-text / or end-notes and a bibliography.

This analysis should cover the following nine (9) points:

1. What are ethics and their importance in global banking and business today?

2. What was the case about? (summary of the case)

3. Who was (were) the individual(s) and company (ies) involved?

4. When did it happen, where did it occur and how much money was involved?

5. Why did it happen?

6. How did it come to the attention of the media?

7. What was the outcome of the case?

8. How could this case been avoided?

9. What can we learn from the case?

*It is your responsibility to read all prior Ethical Analyses request postings and determine that you are the first and only class member selecting that particular case. If this guideline is not followed, and two Ethical Analyses reports on the same case, the first posting has the exclusive right. The class member submitting the second report will get a zero (“0”) grade for the assignment, upon submission.

In submitting requests for approval of the case, you are certifying on the message that you have reviewed all the prior postings and no other class member has requested the same country in this class during this term.

Footnotes and Bibliography Requirements: It is a serious academic ethical violation to fail to give credit to the authors and the sources from where you obtained the information. Please present both the footnotes or in-text-or end notes citations and bibliography in accordance with an acceptable manual of style. Internet addresses by themselves are not acceptable . You must write the name of the source and then insert the web URL locator.

It is very important to show the dates on all information presented and the date of the particular publication. Do not insert the date that you retrieved the information from the web, as it is not important in this case. What is very important is the date that the material was published on the web and by whom. Please refer to a Manual of Style tab for guidance in properly inserting foot/end notes and bibliography.

Each page number should be shown on the bottom center or right side of the report.
