Running head: CODE OF ETHICSThe ACS Code of Ethics is basically a part of the ACS Constitution. Being an ACSmember, it is important to follow some guidelines and one should always advance the honor,dignity and maintain effectiveness of being a professional. In the following case study, a securityadministrator of a company of 500 employees is asked by his manager to present a weeklyreport on which web pages has been accessed by individual employees and should try to flagthose websites which contains inappropriate contents and which are questionable (Elliott 2016).But he remembers that the employees have not been asked to sign in any agreement wherethere is a guideline on which website they can visit and which not. But on the other hand, he isalso aware that if the report is presented then the employees would be penalized for theirmisconduct in the office premises (Leicester 2016). The ethical dilemma that the person is currently facing is that he needs to make a reporton who is accessing which websites and have to present it to his manager but the problem isthat the employees were under no agreement that they have to view this or that particularwebsite (Leicester 2016). With this he is also facing another dilemma that if he present thatreport, the employees would be penalized for which everybody will blame him. One thing he can do is to talk to his managers and tell them that the employees were notunder any agreement. If they really want to know something like this, they need to update theirpolicies about this particular issue and after this he can present a report as if the report ispresented earlier, the employees may question about the authenticity of the data and they cancounter themselves by saying that nothing was written on the policies when they were signingthem (Board 2014).This misconduct can fall into three main ACS Code of Conducts like The Primacy ofthe Public Interest, Honestyand Professionalism (acs.org.au 2017).
