IntegrityMatters

IntegrityMatters is an online integrity test designed to highlight dilemmas practitioners may face at work. This unique elearning tool developed by the CISI highlights the importance of integrity and enables users to test their ability to make ethical decisions in the workplace. IntegrityMatters consists of a workshop and test designed to make users aware of the need to act with integrity when making decisions in the workplace.

It is agreed that taking a test doesn't determine whether you are ethical. However, the rationale is that by completing a test, practitioners will be encouraged to think about how to act with integrity and be able to recognise situations and determine how best to respond.

Over 100,000 professionals have now taken the IntegrityMatters test and passing it is a requirement for all members wishing to become personally Chartered. Members are encouraged to retake IntegrityMatters at least once every five years.

All proceeds are donated to our Educational Trust to help fund awards, bursaries and teachers for young people.


Benefits

  • CPD will be recorded automatically in CISI members’ personal CPD logs
  • Candidates who complete the full test and pass are one step closer to obtaining Chartered membership of the CISI

Speak Up

To support a ‘speak up’ culture in financial services, the CISI has developed a suite of resources. These focus on the importance of professionals having the knowledge and courage to speak up when they witness failings, large or small, which impact the standards set by their organisation.

Interactive Workshop and Professional Refresher Module

The interactive workshop has been developed to get staff across your company thinking about how they can, and would, respond to potential issues. With live voting, and interactive discussions, you and your colleagues will have the opportunity to discuss and debate a series of true to life scenarios, and understand how to speak up with confidence.

The Speak Up Professional Refresher module gives some insight into what is and what isn’t whistleblowing and educates individuals on the best way to speak up in the workplace.

Ethical Dilemmas

Every issue of The Review, the official magazine of the CISI, contains a new ethical dilemma in the ‘Grey Matters’ series. Topics have included everything from policies on hiring family members, to whistleblowing, to accepting corporate hospitality.

As in life, the responses to these scenarios are more grey than black or white. The suggested discussion and way forward, whilst not intending to be prescriptive, represent the combined views of a number of senior professional figures.

We would be pleased to receive feedback or suggestions for future discussion. Please email ethics@cisi.org

Grey Matters Dilemmas are also published in the online version of The Review, allowing members to join the debate and comment on the scenarios with their thoughts and opinions.
