Article Abstract:
Business enterprises are stressing the significance of corporate ethics in enhancing their global credibility and reducing overhead costs among employees. Statistics show that the number of employees with codes of conduct have dramatically increased to 84% from 42% in 1975. Some have even developed modified ethics programs which best suit their business and environmental needs. Asian-Pacific firms have also seen improvements in preventing fraud and corruption through the adoption of ethical business practices.

Australian dollar may climb
Article Abstract:
The Australian dollar is expected to increase steadily after a series of fluctuations. It rose from 73.05 US cents in Jan. 1996 to 82.14 US cents on Dec. 2, 1996 before dropping at 79.59 US cents in Dec. 20, 1996 in Sydney. Observers predict that the Australian dollar will increase to 80 US cents within a few months before reaching 82 US cents in Dec. 1997. The currency's continued rise is attributed to low inflation and increase in worldwide commodity prices.
