THE BCS CODE OF CONDUCT
The Code of Practice is concerned with professional responsibility. All members have responsibilities: to clients,
to users, to the State and society at large
In the event of apparent clash in responsibilities, obligations or prescribed practice the Society's Secretary-General
should be consulted at the earliest opportunity.
BCS membership covers all occupations relevant to the use of computers and it is not possible to define the Code
in terms directly relevant to each individual member.

ETHICAL DILEMMAS

RESOLVING DILEMMAS

DILEMMA 1
You have quoted time and hardware pricing for two similar
assignments both requiring installation of ICT. To your delight
both clients order the work but a dilemma has been created. The
hardware from one project on one job can also be used on the
other job. Potentially this reduces your costs and allows you to
reduce pricing on one or both jobs.
What would you do?
