There are many reasons the nonprofit community should be concerned about unethical behavior or even the appearance of impropriety. In addition to the damage to the public perception of the nonprofit and the loss of public trust, there are tangible costs associated with unethical behavior once it is discovered including government imposed fines or penalties.  Unethical behavior may impact the very future of the non-profit organization. 

One key focus for non-profits is conflicts of interest, which arise whenever the personal or professional interests of an individual employee are at odds with the best interests of the nonprofit.  These conflicts may influence your ability to make impartial decisions on behalf of your company, or cause others to doubt your fairness and integrity.  Such occurrences include but are not limited to: employees having significant interest in a competing entity, performing outside duties that interfere or conflict with the company, accepting gifts, and utilizing your company’s resources to perform non-job related or potentially destructive tasks. These unethical actions risk damaging legal issues to both individuals and companies alike.
