Explanation:

Define the objectives of compliance-based and integrity-based ethics codes

Compliance-based ethics codes focus primarily on preventing unlawful behavior by increasing control and penalizing wrongdoing, with the direct objective of avoiding criminal misconduct.

Analyze the objective of an integrity-based ethics code

Integrity-based ethics codes define an organization's guiding values, create an environment that supports ethically sound behavior, and stress shared accountability among employees, rather than merely focusing on avoiding criminal misconduct.

Determine the truth value of the statement

Since avoiding criminal misconduct is the primary objective of a compliance-based code rather than an integrity-based code, the statement is false.

Answer:

• True
• False (Correct answer)
