The NASBA Center for the Public Trust was established in 2004 to address the issue of ethics and ethical behavior in business, education, public policy and society. The Center's focus is to showcase and promote a positive perspective. Ethics centers have been a part of the academic and business landscape for many years. The NASBA Center for the Public Trust stands out because a primary objective is to "tell the good news," by highlighting the organizations and individuals who employ best practices and endeavor to elevate the ethical threshold in the business world.
The Center sponsors conferences and seminars to encourage ethical deliberations in decision-makers by stirring the moral conscience and imagination. The Center for the Public Trust will also recognize organizations and individuals who follow high standards of social responsibility for performance and leadership. NASBA, as the national organization dedicated to the enhancement of the regulation of accountancy, is uniquely qualified to establish such a center.
