*Advertorial - docDownload's Colour-Coding system
Here we introduce the idea of "stage" and "topic" and the related idea of "colour-coding" which has become important over the last thirty years in corporate business planning. Essentially, a business paper is either "black" or "white". A white paper is a paper containing ideas. This could include ideas, explanation, explication, exploration, argument or proposal. White papers start with a concept document, followed by a feasibility study, and may include a formal business plan, a strategic plan, or a prospectus. A black paper is legislation. It is the law. It follows a board decision, a vote, or an act of the AGM (annual general meeting) or SGM (special general meeting) or, say, an act of parliament, and must be strictly adhered to. It will stay alive until another black paper comes along to knock it off its perch. Any proposal to change a black paper will be white. There are also two-colour coding systems and multi-coloured coding systems.

Business Trip Plan (Apparent and actual flight times)
To plan a business trip within Australia we need to be aware of the complexity in time zones and daylight savings. Australia is a big country. Different time zones apply in different states. And some states practice daylight savings while ohers do not. This means that often there is a difference between apparent and actual travel times. This planner conducts a snapshot (one randomly-chosen day) survey of flights between each capital city in Australia and then calculates the "apparent flight time" (AFT) by comparing real departure times and real arrival times and calculates "real flight time" (RFT) by comparing apparent departures times with real arrival times. It shows the complex zonal relationship between states. Australian corporate planning document. (C-1141)

Code of Ethics - Basic Human Rights (Board policy paper)
This board policy paper provides the basis for an initial board resolution outlining the company's commitment to ethics at the highest level. It bases its commitments to ethical trade on six categories of "basic human rights and freedoms" (which it derives from the UN Declaration of Human Rights), it declares that the company will not involve itself in crimes against humanity, ethnic cleansing, genocide (crimes it understands from reading the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court), or life line persecution (absolute poverty), and also commits itself to taking part in initiatives that seek to remove persons from below the (non-absolute) poverty line.

(C-5075)
Code of Ethics - Bribes and kickbacks
The AWB affair has brought this matter under the limelight in Australia and indeed across the world. What must we do to get a contract? Do we have to do things that will make life good for those people in a position to decide who gets the contract or should we refuse to get involved in such matters, even if it costs us an important contract? Are bribes and kickbacks always wrong? Is it unethical, even if everyone is doing it? What laws apply in Australia?
Code of Ethics - Dealing - integrity, impartiality &fairness
When we are dealing in the market place, doing a deal, or dealing with the outside world, like an outside agency, company, organisation or person, we have a responsibility to apply the ethics of 'integrity, impartiality and fairness'.

Code of Ethics - Deceit & Fraud in trade(Board policy paper)
This board policy paper provides the basis for a board resolution outlining the company's commitment to eliminating deceit and fraud (two important malpractices) from its operations. Its focus here is "corporate malpractice" and therefore describes criminal behaviour by management at all levels of operation (from the board to line management) (NOTE: it is not talking about an employee stealing from the company although some might consider such actions to involve some form of deceit). It recognises both private and public malpractice, because public malpractice often gives rise to private malpractice, especially in the case of bribery of government officials. It assumes deceit is a misdemeanour and fraud is a felony and bases its policy statement on that distinction. It describes what will happen when a whistleblower calls attention to deceit and/or fraud, and prepares a board resolution to communicate this to directors, employees, suppliers, customers and competitors of the company. (C-5076)
Code of Ethics - Ethics and the Current Downturn (G)
Green paper. Is the problem human "greed" or can it be explained more analytically? This paper discusses the issues by giving an account of the current period from the Keating reforms in the early nineties, through Howard's substantial contribution, to the current melt-down in 2008. It derives some ethical issues for the Rudd government and big business and small business in Australia. It finds that most of the comment seems to be heading in the government's direction but there are a few things to say about pricing policy, sackings, and "opportunism vs opportunity" in the current economic downturn/recession/depression to big business and SMEs seeking help in formulating their Code of Ethics in the current climate. Includes such concepts as privatisation, de-regulation, share-price bubble, dot-com bubble, housing bubble, corporate sub-prime lending bubble, de-mutualisatuion, life insurance, superannuation, banking sector, finance sector, John Maynard Keynes, Adam Smith, David Ricardo, New Deal, Snowy Mountains, Great Depression, infrastucture reforms. (C-5118)

Green paper. Discusses the issues by making a critical review of the Professor Ross Garnau final report by subjecting it to ethical assumptions related to global warming and climate change.

Code of Ethics - Help Desk
This code of ethics for a Help Desk can be used for any industry but links in directly in with the Service Level Agreement provided by docDownload for the IT industry. This is a more technical look at ethics because it has to properly describe the risks involved, and to discuss four levels of response under the Service Level Agreement, in order to understand the ethics involved in the Help Desk. It explains the technical reasons why these ethical considerations are unavoidable and therefore why many help desks are operating unethically in today's climate. It translates the ethical statement into practical objectives. International corporate policy. (C-5006)
Code of Ethics - Help Line
This code of ethics for a Help Line seeks to understand what the mission of a crisis helpline is and the ethical concerns associated with this mission. It is presented in the form of an example Code of Ethics for a crisis helpline for women who have been abused.

It compares these two principles to the mission of the helpline and generates ten rules of "right" and "wrong" associated with running a helpline. It explains why these ethical considerations are unavoidable. International corporate policy. (C-5007)
Code of Ethics - International trade & development (Whitepap
Free. The Four Corners article Dirty Money on RBA's Securency Monday 24 May, 2010 and the AFP's subsequent international raid on Securency Oct 2010 makes this white paper quite interesting. This policy white paper looks at the state of play for corporate ethics following the tabling of the Cole Royal Commission's findings on AWB's bribes in its dealings with Iraq. It seeks to find an explanation for AWB's actions by looking back at the fight we had about "Codes of Conduct" during the debate about the Corporate Code of Conduct Bill 2000. It conducts an analysis by looking at an important submission to the Parliamentary Committee in 2000 from AICD and seeing how its ideas have held up, following the AWB scandal and the subsequent inquiry. It concludes that the concept of "comparative advantage" contained in the submission contributed to the "culture" that led to AWB's stupid mistakes, and that now is a good time for any corporation involved in international trade to revisit the argument that was had in 2000, with a view to establishing a new ethical system.

Code of Ethics - Law abiding - a responsibility at any cost?
Do we have a responsibility to abide the law, whatever the cost? Laws are made by political persons with their own agendas, for moral, political, religious and personal purposes. These persons often operate in a corrupt political environment. What if their law is itself unethical? Do we continue to follow it, regardless? Or do we have a higher level responsibility to make others aware of its ethical implications or maybe even a political responsibility to get the law changed?
Code of Ethics - Lies in corporate governance & at work
This code of ethics looks at the ethics of telling lies in the company. It starts with a detailed analysis of "what is a lie?" and finds that moralism doesn't help - you can't just say that telling lies is bad and leave it at that. It then looks at some Australian law that deals with lies in the company, mainly the Corporations Act and the Trade Practices Act and related Crimes Act. It looks at lying for a number of reasons by a director and an officer of the corporation. It provides a detailed list of lies that are offences under the Act(s). These main Acts have little to say about the employee so we add some thoughts, looking at telling lies for personal gain and telling lies at the direct instruction of the supervisor or the employer. International corporate policy with an Australian bias. (C-5024)
Code of Ethics - Long Day Care
This code of ethics for a long day care facility begins with two basic concepts: "parental day care" and "long day care". It generates the rules for "duty of care" by the provider and analyses the needs of the child from these basic concepts. It highlights some actions that are ethically inseparable from this duty of care. International corporate policy. (C-5002)
Code of Ethics - Media Outlet
This code of ethics for a media outlet begins with an understanding of the importance of media in modern society and its ability to influence the "knowledge and reason" of its audience. It considers the ethics of broadcasting and generates rules for resolving conflicting interests between the public needs of its audience versus private needs of its client base. It relates this code of ethics directly to the stated code of ethics (which, although it contains broad statements of morality in its brief introduction, is more a "code of conduct" under the docDownload paradigm) of the journalist profession. International corporate policy. (journalism) (AJA Code of Ethics) (Australian Journalist's Association) (MEAA) (Media Entertainment and Arts Alliance) (C-5004)
Code of Ethics - Mission statement - building a mission
An ethical note that focuses on the building of the mission statement both at formation and throughout the life of the company (or the government department or the NGO) and finds certain clear ethical considerations that present themselves at that moment that naturally takes one outside the company and places the company in society generally. (C-5071)
Code of Ethics - Newspaper, magazine
This code of ethics for a newspaper or magazine begins with an understanding of the importance of publishing/media in modern society and its ability to influence the "knowledge and reason" of its audience. It considers the ethics of publishing newspapers/magazines and generates rules for resolving conflicting interests between the public needs of its readership versus the private needs of its client base. It relates this code of ethics directly to the stated code of ethics (which, although it contains broad statements of morality in its brief introduction, is more a "code of conduct" under the docDownload paradigm) of the journalist profession. International corporate policy. (journalism) (AJA Code of Ethics) (Australian Journalist's Association) (C-5005)
Code of Ethics - Out Of School Hours (OOSH) Care
This code of ethics for an out of school hour care facility begins with two basic concepts: (a) the "reason for professional OOSH care" in the modern world and (b) the temporal proximity of the OOSH care to formal education. It considers the needs of the child, both "physical" and "social needs". It generates the rules for "duty of care" by the provider and in doing so identifies some actions that are ethically inseparable from this duty of care. International corporate policy. (C-5003)
Code of Ethics - Political donations
There seems to be a grey cloud over a company's political donation, even before we begin our analysis. Is a company free to make such a donation? What laws apply to such a donation in Australia? Who should be informed of such a donation? What does the company expect in return? Is such an expectation inherently unethical?
Code of Ethics - Race & Racial Vilification at Work
This code of ethics was developed at the request of a member who is a middle-level manager who experiences racial vilification at a low level in her everyday operations at work. She wondered if her only recourse was the Racial Discrimination Act 1975, or if she could raise the issue at work at another level? This code of ethics begins with a history of the concept of 'race' and differs from the Racial Discrimination Act which fails to give a definition of 'race', 'racial' or 'racism'. It supports the requirements that the Act places on companies, management and staff but rejects the whole notion of 'race', since it has no scientific or biological basis, and warns of the dangers of a failure to reject 'race' as a fundamental concept and describes its past and current links to acts of genocide. It translates the ethical statement into practical objectives. International corporate policy with an Australian bias. (C-5019)
Code of Ethics - Residential Aged Care
This code of ethics for a residential aged care facility begins with two basic concepts: the "mission" of the Home and the "reason for aged care" in the modern world. It considers the needs of the resident, both "human needs", applicable to all residents, and "personal needs", particular to this resident. It generates the rules for "duty of care" by the provider and in doing so identifies some actions that are ethically commensurate with duty of care and some actions that are ethically incompatible with duty of care. International corporate policy. (C-5001)
Code of Ethics - Restaurant
This code of ethics for a Restaurant seeks to understand the ethical concerns associated with providing a meal for a price under current conditions in Australia. It looks at what is a meal and looks at the place a restaurant occupies physically and socially in the life of the eater. It looks at legal requirements and other requirements that have developed over time and how these are changing. Nutritional considerations are becoming more and more important to restaurants, whether they like it or not. It explains the key ethical impact of nutritional considerations on a restaurant in current Australian conditions. It explains why these ethical considerations are becoming unavoidable. It develops a new mission statement based on these ethical considerations. International corporate policy with an Australian (Western first world) bias (C-5044)
Code of Ethics - Risk management and global warming(Whitepap
This policy white paper looks at limitations in risk management methodology in particular circumstances - the best example being the impact of industry on the environment. It explains what risk means under the international standard AS/NZS 4360:2004, both qualitative and quantitative, and why risk treatment plans prepared under AS/NZS 14000:2004 and HB 203:2006 for decisions that will impact on the environment have systematically overlooked this issue. It looks at current government policy on climate change and global warming and concludes that the ethicist has no choice but to be highly critical. It provides ethical advice to corporations looking at dealing with this issue. International planning document with an Australian bias. (C-5062)
Code of Ethics - Scientific Venture
This code of ethics for a major scientific venture begins with the definition of progressive science (being for the "good of mankind") and develops methods for generating "good science". It considers the ethics of public versus private enquiry and generates rules for public versus private scientific outcomes. It discusses the ethics of a particular major project (research into the AIDS epidemic) and the need for restraint of trade for moral purposes on this particular project. International corporate policy. (science) (moral philosophy) (moral principles) (C-5000)
Code of Ethics - Setting a price
The setting of a price is usually based on either a "generalised mark-up" (with maybe some "local variants") or "what the market will bear". This code of ethics is for a corporation looking to set a price. It begins with an understanding of these two different methodologies. It asks the basic question, surely if someone is prepared to pay this price, that is an indicator that the price is correct? Doesn't the market decide? It looks at the history of monopolies and oligopolies and discovers that price setting can have serious social implications, leading to "fair trading" and "anti-trust" legislation being introduced into the market. It analyses the Australian Trade Practices Act 1974 and derives from it certain ethical statements. It then goes beyond the Act to take a broader approach. It looks at some recent examples such as the price for HIV and other basic medicine in central Africa. It considers the ethics of price setting and looks at rules for minimising these ethical concerns. International corporate policy with an Australian bias. (C-5065)

Code of Ethics - Sexual Misconduct in the Parish
At the request of three different members (one of whom is developing central church policy and two of whom are on a local parish council) we developed a code of ethics that looks at the issue of sexual misconduct by a priest, in his many and varied dealings with members of his parish. It begins by looking historically at the parish and why this level is still the most crucial level in the church, even today. From this historical account we look at the question of sexual misconduct and generate some practical rules to be included in the Code of Conduct being generated for religious clergy at the level of the parish. International corporate policy (church) with an Australian bias. (C-5023)
Code of Ethics - Shareholders vs BOD - conflict of interests
In whose interests should the company make important productive decisions; are the shareholders' interests more important than the CEO, the directors, the BOD, the officers of the corporation, or less? Can they ever be the same or will there always be a conflict of interests? How should such conflicts be resolved? If a single shareholder owns more than half of the equity or owns enough to control the company, should (s)he be forced to take into account the interests of the minor shareholders? What legal responsibilities apply in Australia?

This is the start of that profile. Australian company record. (C-0048)
Compliance Model 1 - Overview
NOTE: THIS IS A DIAGRAM ONLY. Our local environment is now dominated by key concepts that need to be included in our mission if our operations are going to be clean and green and capable of lasting into the future. We ignore them at our peril. If we ignore them, our operations will be short-lived and we will fail to pay the full cost of production and thereby contribute to a short-lived planet. The "compliance model" introduces these concepts. (C-9003)
Compliance Model 2 - Compliance factors
NOTE: THIS IS A DIAGRAM ONLY. If you apply the compliance model to our operations, this results in key compliance factors and a number of key questions that arise that help us evaluate our operations, short, medium and long term. Profitability is no longer the key concept. There are bigger and more important issues. (C-9004)
Compliance Model 3 - Reporting entities
NOTE: THIS IS A DIAGRAM ONLY. The compliance model has a tendency to bring all operators under the one umbrella. After all, we all live on the same planet, and breathe the same air, and drink the same water. There are a number of different reporting entities that will apply the compliance model. These range from non-profit to profit entities and small to large entities. Here is an overview of the key reporting entities in Australia. (C-9005)
Compliance Model 4 - Reporting
NOTE: THIS IS A DIAGRAM ONLY. The key in the future to working out our short, medium and long term success will be compliance factors used in annual reporting. We will have to be prepared to adjust our operations, year-by-year, to guarantee compliance. If we wait a decade, it will be far too late. This brings the compliance model into contact with the reporting entities model and generates a new or enhanced role for the annual report. We expect to see the compliance factors playing a stronger and stronger role in reporting. (C-9006)
