Business Ethics and Conduct
The successful business operation and reputation of CF is built upon the principles of fair dealing and ethical conduct of our employees. Our reputation for integrity and excellence requires careful observance of the spirit and letter of all applicable laws and regulations, as well as a scrupulous regard for the highest standards of conduct and personal integrity.
The continued success of CF is dependent upon public trust, and we are dedicated to preserving that trust. Employees are reminded that they are to conduct themselves in a way that will merit the continued trust and confidence of the public.
CF will comply with all applicable laws and regulations and expects its officers and employees to conduct business in accordance with the letter, spirit and intent of the law and to refrain from any illegal, dishonest or unethical conduct. In general, the use of good judgment will guide an employee with respect to lines of acceptable conduct. If a situation arises where it is difficult to determine the proper course of action, an employee should discuss the matter with their immediate supervisor and, if necessary, contact the Human Resources Office for advice and consultation.
Compliance with this policy of business ethics and conduct is the responsibility of every CF employee. Disregarding or failing to comply with this standard of business ethics and conduct could lead to disciplinary action, which may result in termination of employment.
Anonymous Reporting for Fraud Compliance Ethics and Equity
The college is working with Lighthouse Services to offer an online, anonymous fraud reporting tool. This service provides a safe place for both employees and citizens to voice concerns or issues related to workplace fraud, ethics, employee relations, discrimination and harassment. Reports will be forwarded to designated college business officers and risk managers unless they are specifically named in the report, in which case the report will be sent to an alternate college official.
Anonymous reports can be made online, by phone or via email or fax:
