Our goal in this section is to describe the well-known Association for Computing Machinery’s (ACM) Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct (ACM, 1992). We call this document the “Code” for short. This Code is widely accepted in the IT community and has been developed, refined, and applied over many years. Other ethical codes contain similar directives, so in understanding the Code one will have a good handle on understanding other ethical codes. The Code is divided into four parts. It consists of eight ethical standards, a set of nine principles that all computing professionals are to follow, a group of six statements pertaining to those in leadership roles, and two statements about expected compliance with the Code. In the next four sections we go over these four parts of the code. Our main focus will be on sections 1, 2, and 4 of the Code. We start with the ethical standards from the Code.
