Look no further than our online training course on SBA Ethics in the Workplace.

Our comprehensive course covers key themes and best practices for ethical behavior in the workplace, including:

  1. Maintain a Professional and Personal Dividing Line
    It is crucial to maintain a professional and personal dividing line in one’s behavior with customers.
  2. Communications May Be Subject to Review
    All communications, whether by text or email, may be subject to review in the case of fraud or other ethical violations. This highlights the need to be mindful of what is being communicated and to ensure that all communications are ethical and professional.
  3. Truthfulness and Transparency Are Essential
    Truthfulness and transparency are essential in all dealings with customers and stakeholders. It is important to be transparent and truthful in all dealings, and to avoid behavior that is contrary to policy and procedure.
  4. Be Aware of Stakeholder Expectations
    It is important to be aware of the expectations of regulators and other stakeholders in one’s work. This includes understanding the SBA loan certification process and what it entails.
  5. SBA Lenders Have a Duty to Disclose
    Lenders have a duty to disclose information that may impact decisions on granting credit or eligibility. This means being transparent about any information that could impact eligibility or the decision to grant credit.
  6. Consistent Behavior is Key
    Behavior that is contrary to policy and procedure is not acceptable. It is important to act in a manner that aligns with policy and procedure.
  7. Fraud is a Serious Topic
    Fraud is an interesting topic to discuss, but it is important to remember that for fraudsters it is ongoing. It is important to avoid behavior that could be perceived as fraudulent.
  8. Understand the SBA Loan Certification Process
    It is important to understand the SBA loan certification process. This includes being aware of the requirements for certification and the potential consequences of non-compliance.
  9. Don’t Turn a Blind Eye
    Employees should not turn a blind eye to behavior that is contrary to policy and procedure. It is important to speak up if something is not right and to report any behavior that is not ethical or professional.
  10. Avoid Compromising Situations
    Lenders should avoid putting themselves in compromising situations with customers or colleagues. This means being aware of the potential consequences of certain behaviors and avoiding behavior that could be perceived as inappropriate or unprofessional.
