I have done my post-graduation in law and specialize in corporate law. I have several years of experience in the field of corporate law. Given my educational background, my professional experience and my personal moral values and standards the job of ethics officer does appeal to me and that too in strong manner.

A company that I have researched and that hires ethics officer is “Metropolitan Water District of Southern California”. The company hires ethics officer to build and develop a robust and sustainable ethical culture within the organization. The company’s ethics officer will look after the conformity of the business conduct for the entire company.
