Opinions

1. Every company has its assets. We cannot avoid

loss or damages of the assets of company. Instead of
using the word protect, it may use the word prevent.
2. Stated above it shows a greedy attitude on the
side of the company. It conveys that every
employees move should benefit the company.
3. Not every employee can familiarize the
requirements for disclosure. The disclosure should
be specific to be understood easily.
4. The principle did not specify who will take
corrective actions if ever deficiencies occur within
the company caused by an employee.
5. Taking risk is one of the important things in a
company. In managing risks, the employees who
took the risk should take full responsibility. The
responsibility should be between directors and

Item to be deleted
Protect the assets of the Company from
loss, damage, misuse or theft.
-From the code this item is the one that
we think should be deleted because as
stated earlier in our list of least like items it
shows that we cannot avoid loss or damages
of the assets of company. Instead of using
the word protect, it may use the word
prevent.

Items to be added
The company should add items regarding to
how they will respond to the concern of their
customers. And how they should prioritize the
satisfaction of their customers with regards to
the services they are offering.
- In our opinion we find the codes lacking
with items that may secure the satisfaction of
the consumers, it doesnt include how the
employee should treat the consumers if
problem exist
