1.
As an office administrator at an investment company, I am entrusted with
confidential information, that of clients and our organization. The responsibility that
comes with having this information requires me to uphold the Honor Confidentiality
principle. To protect our clients' and their information, it is essential that I adhere to
strict guidelines. Some ways I safeguard client information are identity verification
before discussing sensitive information, and data accuracy.
Another important principle in my profession is to be Honest and Trustworthy. Our
clients put the trust of their finances in our hands and is crucial that we provide
them with all pertinent information and disclosures for them to make sound
investment decisions. Transparent and open communication with clients allows us
to successfully build long term professional client relationships and has led to a
reputation of being an organization that people can depend on.
