One of the most essential professional skill at business and finance is academic integrity. Academic

Academic Plagiarism
Academic plagiarism is the situation which occurs when the writer of the file repeatedly used
words from any printed source without the usage of quotation mark & an actual reference to
original source for the task presented as an author of own research's & scholarship's. Copying &
pasting of portion of a text document, borrowing information, buying papers online, improper
referencing & citation, following of authors' writing style too closely, falling to properly integrate
the work & unauthorized collaboration of assignments are the various forms of plagiarism (Raines,
2016).
Academic integrity & its relevance to professionalism in business environment
Academic integrity means always doing the right thing, even if no one is looking at the individual.
Thus, this means upholding the policies of academic honestly set forth by the college or university.
Academic integrity means individual must do its work by its own, even if its friend offers to help it
on taking home exam. Writing its own papers properly by citing on resources, undergoing online
quiz without taking the help of friends & textbooks, depending on the type of quiz. Moreover,
academic integrity also means to report the authority if the individual suspected someone cheated
on exams or on some other assignments (Kwong and et.al, 2018).
Students with high levels of integrity will tends to work hard for earning their academic degrees in
fair & honest way. Such students complete their assignment honesty by putting efforts on hours of
studies. When a student tends to clear the exam just by cheating then all of its moral get diminished.
This will eventually decrease its credibility at the workplace moreover it will have great impact on
its professional goals. Just for instance, no one want to get treated by the doctor who got its medical
degree through cheating.
People with no academic integrity are more likely to be dishonest, cheater & even commit crimes
such as stealing or fraud at the workplace.
Thus, academic integrity means having belief in standards & principles of the community &
ensuring that the individuals' behaviour must be consistent with those standards & principles.
