Explanation:

Codes of ethics refer to the governing principles and expectations that regulate the behavior of individuals and organizations in the conduct of their professional responsibilities and business activities.  Two broad categories have been identified for written codes of ethics.  They are compliance-based (rules-based) codes and integrity-based (principles-based) codes.  Rules-based or compliance-based codes emphasize prevention, while principles-based or integrity-based codes provide guidance.
