Governor of the Bank of Ghana (BoG), Dr Ernest Addison, has said beyond regulatory measures, a resilient financial system is built on a foundation of ethical conduct.
Integrity and professionalism, he noted, are indispensable pillars of trust, and they underpin the confidence that the public places in our banking sector.
In this regard, he said, "it is gratifying to highlight the Chartered Institute of Bankers' Ethics Certification Programme which was developed in collaboration with Bank of Ghana and launched last year," Dr Addison said at the 28th annual banking and ethics conference in Accra on Thursday, November 21. "As I stated last year in my speech, all staff working in the banking industry must complete this Ethics Certification Programme and must be recertified annually. "This is now an essential part of the fit and proper assessment of the Bank of Ghana.
I want to take this opportunity to encourage all banks to actively enrol their staff in this programme.
