Ethical behavior includes compliance with the law and specific regulatory rules (CII, 2013), paraplanners need to be aware of relevant laws and regulations, including: the principles and the statements of conduct of the Financial Conduct Authority Principle for Approved Persons (CII, 2013) and the Chartered Insurance Institute Code (CII code) (CII, 2014), as well as the Data Protection Act 1998 (Data Protection GOV.UK, 2013) , Money Laundering Regulations (Office of Fair Trading, 2009) and the Financial Conduct Authority's six fair treatment of customers outcomes (FCA, 2013). Paraplanners must act with the highest ethical standards and integrity, as well as act in the best interests of each client (CII, 2014). It is important for paraplanners to be aware of data protection law as clients have the right to expect complete confidentiality about their personal lives such as income and identity (CII, 2013).
