ProfessionalAssociationDisengagementObligationforFraudulentEnterprise
http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#ProfessionalAssociationDisengagementObligationforFraudulentEnterprise
Applied to
Engineer M's continued association with the highway upgrade project and Firm DBA's fraudulent report
Balancing with
Client Loyalty
Faithful Agent Obligation Within Ethical Limits
Concrete expression
Engineer M must not permit the use of their name or continued association with the highway upgrade project in a manner that lends professional credibility to Firm DBA's fraudulent public engagement report — Engineer M's obligation to challenge the report and escalate to correction or reporting is grounded in part in the prohibition on associating with dishonest enterprise
Confidence
0.88
Importance
high
Interpretation
NSPE Code section II.1.d prohibits engineers from permitting use of their name or associating in business ventures with firms engaged in fraudulent or dishonest enterprise — Firm DBA's production of a materially misleading public engagement report triggers this prohibition
Invoked by
Engineer M Lead Infrastructure Project Engineer
Tension resolution
The prohibition on association with fraudulent enterprise overrides the faithful agent obligation to the City — Engineer M must act to correct or disassociate rather than passively continuing the project association
Source Evidence
